Sleeve Theory

The really nice thing about a drop shoulder sweater construction is that about a third of the sleeve knitting is done by the time you start the sleeves.

I have to give it a try on before I am sure but I think I am getting close to the cuff.  I have a feeling that four of the lice rows is going to be the right length before the cuff.  That bugs me.  It's about proper proportions.  I can't change how long my arms are and I need the sweater to function properly so the sleeves can't be too long.

I do not care for sleeves that fall into things like water when you are doing dishes, or flour and dough when you are baking.  And I hate it when my dpns get stuck into my sleeves when I am working on socks or hats.  Sleeves are supposed to stay where they are put and if not, they need to be three quarter sleeves.  That is my personal theory of sleeves.  

I will be surprised if the sweater isn't complete by Monday.  The rounds on these sleeves go so fast and there just not that many rows to go.  I am prepared for it not to happen though, but I am hopeful.  I have my trusty coffee by my side and the time to get it done.
