I have one complete four colour section done and if I tried it on right now, the sleeve would be more or less elbow length. There is a bit to go yet. If I did full sleeves, it would likely be two and a half colour repeats.
I was struggling on Sunday evening with the short needles but I think that was more to do with short needles after a full day of knitting. My hand was cramping a bit but it didn't feel like tired hands, it felt more like hands that really wished they had longer needles to knit with. But no. Everything is fine today and i have worked a couple good hours already with no trouble. It was just tired hands. I am very glad of this and supremely happy that my stopping every hour for an excersize break is working.
I get to debate how long the sleeves will be. I am going to aim for three quarter sleeves I think. I have to look at sleeve lengths on various cropped and shorter sweaters and see what I like the look of. That should take me two full colour repeats or very close to it. I think I will do another sweater try on at that point to check and see exactly what I have.
Always something to think about in sweaters. Always.
