You Are Now Leaving Sleeve Island

Good morning, miss, what can I do for you? You're ready to check out? Already? Seems you just got here. Why, I have knitters here who've been on Sleeve Island for weeks, months, sometimes years. And you say you're ready to go, huh? If you say so. Where you headed next, if you don't mind my asking? Sweater Body Bay, huh? Nice place. How long you plan to be there? Not long? Why, you're in some kind of hurry, aren't you? Yeah, it gets busy around the holidays, don't it? It was nice having you here, but I understand -- Sleeve Island is a temporary stop. Just leave the key on the desk and I'll get it. Good luck at The Bay -- weather's perfect for knitting.

Sleeve Island is ok, but you don't want to be there forever, do you?! Go you! Loving the stripes! (stripes always go faster!)

Yeah, I was one of those knitters who was shipwrecked on Sleeve Island for close to a year with my last pullover project. So glad that you were able to escape that fate. The sleeves are looking great. Can't wait to see what pattern this is. Have fun on Sweater Body Bay!

For some reason sleeves do not take me much time mentally....most of the time. Now Body island could be something else ;)

Ha! I love it...sleeve island....I suppose that means that, somewhere, there is a gusset gully and a leg lake. (can you tell I'm knitting sock?);->
Good luck! Hope you finish by Christmas! Say a prayer for my socks;->
