Default OK, so it's not really morning here...

It's past noon, but we got up late and didn't breakfast until noon.
It's a warm 57 degrees out so I've opened the doors to get the fried
bacon smell out of the house.

It still hurts my arm to knit much, but I've gotten halfway down the
first sleeve of the Oddball sweater and am trying to figure out how to
decrease as well as doing the short rows; I should have decreased
earlier because the sleeve will be somewhat baggy at the forearm. Any
suggestions...

Spampot, take care of that arm,

No good suggestions for your question, I am sure that someone is coming up
with help though

You know where you're doing the decreases every other row in the middle of
the under arm area to keep it straight? Well, decreasing 3 rows out of 4 is
common for the long sleeve version, or maybe every row if you put if off.

Thank you, Gwen! I'll try, but it's getting so frustrating; my recovery
seems to have hit a "plateau" and I still have stabs of pain. I loved
reading about your holiday; thanks for posting it! DH was salivating
over the description of the crisp-fried fish dipped in hot coconut milk.
