for christmas i bought myself a set of short tip red lace interchangeable chiaogoo mini needles. omg. within the time it took me to knit one sleeve rib i developed arthritis. i am not sure i could ever knit a whole sleeve with them.

Used Us 1.5 needles throughout

Picked up button band at one stitch per one stitch. I was nervous as I have only done button bands with reduced stitches on smaller needles but it worked out just fine. Who knew…
