Starlight Progress
Sleeves, waiting to be shaped together with the body pieces:

While I knit, I've been thinking about what Eunny said about working a set-in sleeve together with the body. In this post, she says she hopes it will basically involve making "the appropriate decreases on either side of an imaginary seam line between body and sleeve cap." I think there's a little more to it than that. That imaginary seam line bit will work up to the top of the cap, where if the sleeve were being worked separately, you would cast off the remaining 30 stitches all at once. When you reach that point, I'm pretty sure you will have to start using short rows, attaching first one front to half of those 30 sleeve stitches, then the back to the other half, then the same deal for the other sleeve. I think. I've never done this before, and haven't been able to find anything to read about it. I guess we'll see!

That looks like it is going to be beautiful when it's all put together!
That is really a lovely color. Congratulations on making such great progress! (I know how hard it can be to remain knit monogamous.)
It's awesome that you are doing some adventurous Serious Techniques. I wonder if Eunny would respond to an email.
