Fiber Arts Friday: Cozy Stripes Sweater, part 12

In part 11, I had nearly completed the large brown block on Sleeve #1 (104 of the 108 row goal).  Today, I am not quite in the same place on Sleeve #2...  97 of 108 row goal for the block.

The difference could be in gauge, where I started the skein, and/or deltas between winding of skeins at the mill.

After trying on the sweater, I have decided to continue with the plan as written with the 14g remaining on Skein #7.

I maybe should have made the body a little longer.... it is fine in the back, but the collar makes the front pull up a bit.  I can fix some of that with blocking and folding the collar down.  So we'll see how it is when everything is finished.
