Getting Started ...
Well, after a couple of false starts, I'm finally getting the hang of it and have about 8" done on my first sleeve. I love the challenge and complexity of the pattern and the fact that it stretches me beyond the fairly simple cabling I've done thus far. The Jaeger yarn is a dream to work with, as well as very easy on the wallet ... I highly recommend it! I wanted the sleeves to be less baggy than shown in the pattern, so I cast on for size small, with increases every 10 rows, but will actually end up knitting a size large, to accommodate 'the girls' and my behind. More info at my blog here.

Ooh progress progress!!
Thanks for sharing your plans on sizes!
Its looking good and you chose a gorgeous color.
Looking good! I'd love to hear more about how you're adapting the pattern for "the girls," since I'll have to do the same thing. I was thinking of doing a size large sleeve, though shorter, and a size medium peplum.
Oh I wish I'd done small sleeves and large body. My sleeves are quite big and I'm thinking it'll end up as more of an overjackety sort of thing..
Yours is looking nice though!
Gurl, you are just so good at what you do...i'm amazed...really!
