I did cast on a sleeve last night lol. I was worried the armscye was FAR too large, but it is the perfect size for the size I was doing. Then I worried about introducing cables while doing short rows, but that was fine too! I finished the short rows completely and began knitting in the round. I don't have QUITE the right length of circular needle, and it's slightly too many stitches for 4+1 DPNs, so it's a little tricksy to wrangle right now. I do get to start decreasing shortly though. Other than that, it's 17" of cables cables cables.

Mostly I'm posting this because my roommate J turned to me last night and said "don't take this the wrong way but... did you just make a bunch of vests and then decide to add sleeves? Because all I've seen you knit recently is sleeves." Y'all, I DIED laughing. We've only known each other since April last year so he's not quite used to my creative process yet lol. All three of these sweaters were started before he moved in, and only one was started after I left the apartment. They are just projects I hadn't finished yet lol.

Sweater #2 was still damp last night, and only the tiniest bit damp this morning, so I wasn't able to block #1 yet. Tonight! And I'll move the mats to a different location so they aren't taking up all the floor space on the main level lol. Just not sure if it's easier to move my sewing projects or the floordrobe.
