Starting the sleeves

Yesterday while invigilating my first exam, I got up to the shaping on the right front of the CPH. So I finished it (the shaping takes more attention than I like to be able to pay during an exam) last night, and cast on for the first sleeve.

I debated casting both sleeves on at once - they are symmetrical, and I have enough yarn to do them simultaneously, but then I thought, no, not if you're going to be walking around a classroom, you don't want to be juggling two balls of yarn.

But still - it pleases me that I have almost entirely knit this sweater while invigilating exams. Talk about reclaiming otherwise lost time. (Some people read journal articles during exams; I confess I've caught too many people with their eyes not on their own papers to feel comfortable doing that. And I guess some campuses require that the faculty member do NOTHING while invigilating, which would make me twitch, especially for these 2-hour finals, which are loooooooooong. Even with knitting they are looooooooong.)


Edited to add: May this be none of my students this week. (But still, the macro made me laugh.)
