Going to do a couple more inches before starting the colorwork at the waist. I’m at about 9” from the underarm now. That should make it about 14.75” from the underarm total.

I’m also going to make size 6 for the sleeves. I think that will fit me better than the size 7.

Just need to do 1.5” of ribbing to finish the first sleeve. I had to modify the sleeve length a bit. Accelerated the rate of the increases or they would have been too long for me.

Finished the knitting today. Did 15 rounds of sleeve ribbing.

My gauge was off pretty significantly, but I am very happy with the fit. My gauge ended up being 28 x 32 stitches and rows in 4”. I did swatch… apparently, I’m just not good at swatching.

I ended up doing the size 7 (at the wrong gauge) and 6 sleeves. My sleeves are shortened to 18.5” and I made the body 13.5” from underarm to hem. The body of my sweater ended up being 54” and my full bust measurement is 51.5” if that helps anyone decide on a size. My sleeves are narrow, but I intend to wear this as a shirt with no blouse under it, so I am very happy with that fit.
