I completely agree! I totally gave on on the TBL part after my first try, it was just too tight. It still took me 45 minutes to do one of the p3tog rows and I'm still worried I'm going to break my needles!
The sleeves and hem were a piece of cake because they weren't P3togtbl. They were K3togtbl which was much easier. The only difficulty with the sleeves was the fact that I was using 12 inch Addis and Addis don't have good points. I'm using the Knit Picks needles for the neck which works a little better due to the nice pointy tips!
I used my Addi size 6 lace circulars. The tips are sharp so it made manuvering(sp?) easer. But yes, I agree, those p3togtbl were absolutley killer! If I were using bamboos, they'd break for sure.

I feel exactly the same. It about killed me on the sleeves..I was thinking about just knit them together!

I couldn't even figure out how to P3 tbl so I gave up and k3 tbl. Looks like I'm not the only one. And it does take forever!
