Escape from Sleeve Island!!!!

I did it! I finished the grotesquely long sleeves on KE's Icelander sweater! Now I only have about 4 inches to go on the body. Unbelievable that it could take so long to knit sleeves. Each one is about as much knitting as for a small child's sweater. I don't think of KE as all that tall--only about 6'2", but gee whillackers, the guy has long arms. The pattern (size large) called for 48 cm. Instead, I used the two sweaters KE has that actually have long enough arms as a gauge, and they were both about 55 cm. Okay, I know I'm making too big of a deal out of this, so I'll stop. I'm just so relieved to have escaped the purgatory of sleeve island...
