Thanks to all of you for your help with my xmas jumper! I redid the arms a third time with longer floats which seems to have helped. They are still a bit wobbly, but much better. (apologies for the grainy phone-photo!)
It is rolling along nicely in this thick Aran weight and I am well into the colourwork on the body now, which is looking a lot less wibbly. I may have to go back and redo the colour portion on the arms a 4th time, but think it will be wearable when the cold finally hits!
What a relief!

YAY! I hope you’ll be at knit night on Thursday so I can see it. You’re making me want to make a Christmas jumper 😛
Am planning to be there! I will try to bring this project so you can see it, though last night had my doubts about the fit on the new sleeves. Sigh. You can let me know what you think!
I think your sleeves are probably fine. You’ve just been working on them for too long. At this point I would be happy as long as my arms fit in them.
HAH! Well, they fit…but tightly with a shirt underneath, which is mental as I went up 2 SIZES on the sleeve (and now realise that the stitch counts don’t match the body so am going to have to re-do/jig something SOMEWHERE. ARRRGH.
How often will you need to wear a long sleeve shirt under a colourwork wool/alpaca aran weight jumper in London? Your internal thermostat might be completely different than mine but the cabled wool/alpaca aran weight cardigan I have doubles as a winter coat here. I think it’ll all be good with a little bit of re-jiging at the yoke.
Oh, the positive optimism! ;-D Thanks Christine. You are likely right. I am just being a huge FUSSPOT.
Looking nice!
thank you, Gail!
