Half-twisted ribbing looks so much better to me that I have used it consistently for 20 years or so. But I will complain about #sleeveisland. I often knit both sleeves at the same time with steeks if the thicker seam won't annoy me.
Agreed. And we should do a #SleeveIsland KAL here on #KnitSky this summer.

I know people often complain about #SleeveIsland, but I’ll take it any day over 1X1 half-twisted ribbing hell. 🧶

A brightly striped knitted baby sweater in progress, so far without sleeves.
Day 15 #100DayProject #100DaysOfStitchMaking #CraftSky #ShoweredInRainbows sweater now has two fronts and button bands. I did end up reworking the buttonholes because I goofed and didn't set them in garter stitch the first time. Now off to #SleeveIsland
So who is knitting today? 🧶🧶I was car knitting earlier, got to use every opportunity, right?

With exception of the blue cardigan, and my current short-sleeve WIP, these are all sleeveless tops as are almost all of my summer knits. One thing I love about knitting for summer is you never get stuck on #SleeveIsland. 🧶

Ranunculus (slightly modded) yoke progress. This #IrishArtisanYarn was originally intended as a shawl kit, but it was too nice! hence my first #ranunculussweater as a break from #sleeveisland on my #avenapullover #knitsky #knitting #surialpaca
Slowly but surely, I'm knitting the sleeve of my Quin cardigan.
It got me wondering - why do we call sleeve knitting "Sleeve Island" anyway?

The beginning of sleeve island on the knitting needles that are slowly making a hooded sweater.
Let sleeve island begin!

This yarn looks so much better in brighter light! Go figure. Currently on sleeve island, but super motivated to finish this Weekender Sweater by @dreareneeknits.bsky.social using Yin Yang Yarn 🧶 from @loopfiberstudio.bsky.social

Will I really escape #SleeveIsland this weekend? It is possible but I will have to be persistent! 🧶
Okay I'm on the second sleeve and I wove in all the ends everywhere, but my hands hurt. #SleeveIsland is a terrible place. 🧶
