Knit Project: Gemini... Yay! Sleeves!

i think i'm making some progress on my Gemini for the knit along :) the stockinette stitch for the body was getting a bit monotonous so i decided to start on the sleeves. it was perfect because the first ball of yarn had come to it's end so why not? double pointed needles were no where as complicated as i thought it was going to be. after watching a couple of youtube videos (particularly this one) it turned out to be easy peasy lemon squeasy :) so now it's full speed ahead on the body and then... DONE! woot!

one thing i found about the sweater... when i tried it on to check the fit i was shocked at how roomy it was. i'm glad i read the pattern super carefully and found the note about choosing the size that is 4 inches SMALLER than my actual bust size. otherwise it would have ended up huge. but it will definitely be a comfy short sleeved sweater. i'm so excited. i can't wait to get it done! yay!
