The body of my February Lady Sweater went fairly fast. Okay, towards the end I felt a bit like I was in the knitting black hole and the body just wasn't growing. But that didn't last long and soon I was done.
But this first sleeve . . .
And I still have the second one to knit. I thought about just one sleeve as a fashion statement - but I don't think that's a statement I want to make. So I'll knit on.
Oh, and buttons? Yeah, still don't have any yet. I guess the sleeves can take as darn long as they want to!

Be strong - I know you can power through those sleeves! It all looks so great it's going to be a beautiful finished sweater.
I hated knitting the sleeves. It's going to be a beautiful sweater so you must keep going! I found a nice site for buttons: ascuteasabutton.com.
Oh but it is so beautiful. WOW. What a masterpiece. Allison is always quick to remind me that sleeves are the longest darn part of any sweater.
