Sleeves!

 

I've separated the sleeve stitches from the body stitches on my Scéal Grá pullover.  It always feel like an accomplishment when I get to this point on a top down sweater and I feel like the progress goes faster, but that's especially true knitting at this gauge!  On a top down sweater, the point right before you put the sleeve stitches on holders is also the point where you have the most stitches on the needles.  Fortunately, this all happens at the first of the project when I'm still in the Excited-To-Begin-A-New-Sweater-Phase of knitting, so it's not usually a problem getting through it.  This is also why I love top down sweaters - they just seem to go faster to me.
