A Sleeve Is Born

I've finished the body of my Punchwork Cardigan.  In fact, I've also finished the neck band and the front bands!  All I have left is sleeves and I'm working on my first one now.  

I haven't sewn any ends in yet and the whole thing will need a good blocking, but I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel on this sweater.  It feels like it's taken forever, but that's not really fair.  I set it aside to work on some things for Caleb and then it had to wait while we helped him pack up and move back to school, so I probably don't have but about a month of regular knitting time on this.  I also always feel like bottom up sweaters take longer than top down, even though logically I know there's the same amount of knitting involved.

Have a great weekend!
