I'm 31 rows from the should shaping (which is about 5 rows of knitting) from finishing the front pieces. And in 6 rows, I get to cast off a huge portion of each front, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to finish the fronts later tonight. I've been getting about an hour of knitting time each night, so I think it is doable.

The question now is whether to knit the long sleeves or the short sleeves. I purchased the kit for the long sleeves so that I'd have the option of doing either. Here's a link to the pattern: Thea.

I'm currently leaning toward the short (elbow length) sleeves because I'm a little concerned that the sweater might be a bit itchy. Not intolerably itchy, but I often find that my forearms can be more sensitive to that and I don't often wear or have long-sleeve shirts to wear under this sweater. On the other hand, long-sleeved would be warmer. But would take longer to knit...

Thoughts??
