Sleeves!

I stayed up late last night to finish these sleeves. I always make the mistake of thinking I am basically done when I get to the underarm and then realize all over again that the sleeve caps are bigger than they look!

My fingers are tired from handling the summer tweed, so I'll probably wait a few days before casting on for the body pieces. The sleeves will need some pressing, but I'll wait to do that to all the pieces together before seaming.

The sleeves are looking good. The summer tweed presses really nicely. I had bumpy seams with Glint and steamed them down!(I am a bit ruthless with an iron!)

Wow you are fast! They look great and I hope that your fingers/hands recover enough for biking!

I'm watching Paris-Nice 2006 again, so am frogging back the pink camisole one more time, in honor of my Floyd. He came in 2nd on Saturday for the Leadville 100 MTB race, so I'm inspired all over again. :)

The sleeves look fabulous and a gorgeous colour, I know what you are saying about sleeve caps, but don't you just love the last 20 rows, where it feels like you are running/cycling downhill getting faster and faster ;)
