Three quarter length sleeves.

I am knitting wrist warmers for exactly that reason. I noticed last winter there were lots of womens warm jumpers with 3/4 sleeves so ended up buying a small man's jumper. Not terribly elegant but so warm!

I hope the small man in question had another jumper at home, or I would worry about him feeling the cold this winter

Being under 5ft in height, three-quarter length sleeves are ideal for me.

Full length sleeves often become loose and stretched, and slip over my hands, even petite length clothes can be on the long side.

I wish stores sold more jumpers and cardigans with shorter sleeves.

As a sufferer of 'gorilla' arms myself I have always found it hard to find sleeves that are long enough. Nowadays I find that 'Long Tall Sally' tops always have nice long sleeves - sometimes a bit too long, I find, surprisingly, but they tend to be a bit pricey. Dorothy Perkins do a tall range online (I've never found them in the stores) and they have a range of tops and cardigans that have long sleeves as well as some that are 3/4 length (intentionally!). They are more reasonably priced and I have found them to wash well and last at least a couple of years! My daughters, who are both tall but slimmer than me, both use the online tall ranges of 'Next' and 'New Look' - I'm afraid their range doesn't fit me! Their sleeves are always nicely proportioned, whether 3/4 or long.

I like three-quarter sleeves in spring, summer and autumn, but in winter they are daft. Who wants cold wrists in winter?
It's the same with short-sleeved cardigans, one of my pet hates.
We put a cardigan on to keep warm, don't we, so where is the point in short sleeved ones?
(but I do understand your point of view, libra10, as you are short.)

I don't like 3/4 sleeves, they irritate me especially in jumpers and cardigans.
I've got long arms too so doubly annoying. I'd rather wear long sleeves and push them up.

Contrary lot, aren't we!

I remember starting work in an office when starched white shirts with long sleeves and cufflinks were mandatory. I was always frightened of getting ink on the cuffs because with detachable collars most shirts had to last me at least two days before washing. And it was always possible to get blood on the collars they were so stiff with starch they chafed my neck.

I hated starch until the day I fell face first into a load of stinging nettles and my grandmother applied (Robins?) starch which cooled the painful stings.

EastEndGranny - you don't have to knit round, you can knit a strip and sew the ends together. Simples!

I loathe 3/4 length sleeves with a passion! I feel the cold - all year round - and to actually pay money for a garment which will make me uncomfortable seems perverse to say the least! If I do feel warm (I wish!) I will happily push the sleeves up a little. So, when I am finally in charge of Everything Everywhere, the dratted offenders will be banned ;-)

I love three quarter sleeves but am finding less shops sell them so they are difficult to buy? M&S used to sell them a lot but not now it seems. I find long sleeves really irritating and only wear them when it is bitterly cold

M and S used to sell t-shirts with fairly deep V-necks and 3/4 sleeves but they don't appear to do so any more. I find their cotton t-shirts are too thick and inflexible now. Perhaps it's something to do with their 'stay new' theme, whatever that is. I prefer my t-shirts to age a little and become soft, I don't want them staying stiff and new.
