This technique weaves every other stitch so it is slow going but very satisfying. No weaving at the end which suits me just fine.
I also spent part of the day starting to clean my garage.. I am hoping that I can at least clean it well enough to move some of the appliances I have parked on top of my dog kennel in my dining room! Hah.. as if I ever use that either. My house is very cluttered. I have a collection of small TV's that don't work , old PC's, and lots of cans of dried latex paint. I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of all this. The curse of living in a house for 20 years. When I used to move more often - I had an excuse to get rid of things.. now I don't and it just collects dust.
But that is what vacations are for - right?
Later: I decided to rip out about 15 rows of the sleeve... at this rate I will be doing this thru next summer. I didn't like the way the yarn was showing thru the sections of the fabric where I have alternating purls and knit stitches (and still weaving every other row) . Now I'm tugging the back yarn which is working much better.

Your sleeve is coming along, I'm not sure what weaving every other stitch means... I learned to knit 3 years ago and am self taught. I finally took a sock class, because I tried to teach myself toe-up, but didn't (and still don't) understand how to wrap a stitch. My sock teacher taught us top down. I haven't found anyone that knows toe up, but that's my goal for 2008!
I have three closets that rarely get used, therefore they have the most clutter! After January I'm going to declare war on them, plus I have paiting that really needs to be done! We've been in our house 12 years. Things are beginning to need updated. Sad isn't it!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Sheryl!
I learned how to wrap by following the steps here:

I didn't do the lacy pattern the first time - but her explanation of the basic steps is very good.
I love doing colorwork but it seems to go very slow for me - especially when the colors change so often.
I think I need to bake Xmas cookies instead! Hah!
