Knitting: Cordelia Update

fourzoasI've been a one-trick knitting pony lately as I try to finish up my Cordelia before winter sets in.
First, a photo:
I'm done with the body and have relocated to sleeve island, which, as we all know, is a Very Dark and Dreadful place where many a knitter has lost her way. The only saving grace? Sleeves are knit directly onto the sweater, so the rows get shorter as the sleeve gets longer. Of course, when you're knitting with the yarn equivalent of angel hair pasta on size 3 needles, the effect of decreases is severely diminished.
Overall, though, this is a great knit. I'm already thinking toward another Cordelia--not this year, mind you--in a solid color.
