armed and dangerous

I'm realizing that I don't really like knitting the arms of sweaters.  They are boring tubes that go on forever, and then you have to make a second one.  The body of the sweater can get kind of boring too, but you don't have to pay very much attention.  Arm, on the other hand, tend to be tapered, so I have to decrease every 8 rows or so.  Damn, this topic is even boring.

Anyway, I have 4 sweaters lying around that need arms.  The good news is that I finally finished Vincent's bomb sweater (I had been working on the arms for a month or so, here and there).  It came out pretty well.  I'll have pictures as soon as I find my camera cord.  Additionally, I've been re-arming a sweater that I made a little over a year ago, before I fully realized how essential tapered arms are.  The previous arms would really accentuate the flapping-ness of old-lady biceps.  But I'm not really into that.
