Sleeves

I need some advice. I am designing the sweater I am knitting and I am thinking of knitting the front and back together and then picking up stitches to knit the sleeves. Are there any draw backs to this? I just think it would be easier than knitting sleeves seperately. I hope to post photos tomorrow.
