I took this project with me on our annual trip to Florida to visit Bruce's Mom. That is the reason I started it, I needed some good car knitting. I knit most of the body on the trip down, knit one sleeve on Christmas Eve and the other on Christmas day. I still need to block it. I did a couple of minor modifications to the pattern. I did not do any decreases in the sleeves until I got to the detail patterning just above the cuff, then I did all of the decreases evenly spaced around the row. I also replaced the k1, p1 ribbing with k2, p1 ribbing, which I prefer the look of. On the sleeve cuffs the ribbing ended up lining up with the detail pattern quite nicely.
Pattern: Bombay Sapphire by Thea Colman (Baby Cocktails)
