Fiber Arts Friday: Cozy Stripes Sweater, part 13

In part 12 I had run out of brown yarn on both sleeves with a few to several rows remaining in each block before starting the stripes.

In this episode, I continued Sleeve #2 with the remaining 14g of Skein #7.

I then completed the stripes with the started Orange and Green Skeins used on the body.

The last couple of sleeve decreases where completed closer together to ensure I had a divisible-by-4 stitch count in time for the cuff (40 sts), and then I stepped down to US3 needles for the cuff.

This sweater is finally getting close.... :-)  

I have the:

• remainder of the second sleeve,
• weaving in ends,
• fixing one (1) dropped stitch,
• sewing on buttons, and then
• blocking to go.

I'm pretty excited to be this close after nearly a year of work.
