Just an update--I'm continuing to knit the sleeves...I think this is my second time doing them. As you saw in the last picture, they are fitting a lot better now on size 7 needles, but I inadvertently caused a big jog, or line, down the sleeve by pulling too tightly each time I alternated skeins of yarn. This *might* block out, but it might not, and I think it bothers me too much to keep it in. So, I left that sleeve for now and started the second one over again, this time with the size 7 needle and paying much more attention to my tension and trying not to pull too tightly when changing yarn. I am also dropping the unused yarn strand to the front of my work each time so any line that is caused will hopefully end up on the inside of the sleeve.
The sleeve saga continues...I am learning a lot through trial and error but still hoping to complete my sweater soon so I can wear it this winter and spring.
Keep it up, the sweater will be so much better because you are taking the time to do it right!
