I know that most of the posting out here recently has been for finished CPHs, but mine is still a Work in Progress. I wanted to share a great tutorial from Knitty.com which includes photos. This bit of instruction was very helpful to me in doing my first set-in sleeve. I used the weaving technique and mattress stitch, and I'm happy with how this first attempt has turned out so far (wish me luck on sleeve #2).The tutorial is here on KnittyVoila!
Hint: I blocked all pieces, then seamed all pieces (body and the sleeves) before setting in the sleeve and I must say this was VERY helpful in keeping my seam even all the way around the armhole. I think I would have had more trouble with bunching had I attempted to do this flat, so "tube to tube" is a good way to go! (P.S. That's a tip I heard on a previous episode of the Stash and Burn podcast about finishing)
To those out there still working on it, keep at it. And for the finishers - all that I've seen have been lovely!!

Great job! And thanks for posting the link to the sleeve tutorial. I will definitely need that when I'm ready to set in my sleeves.
