Underarm shaping starts at row 69 in size L.
Whole sweater seems to me kind of small, although I made swatch and I was 1 st off so it should be rather bigger..
03.08.2019
Starting 3rd skein on row 72.
06.08.2019
Starting 4th skein on row 107.
10.08.2019
Starting 5th skein in about row 149.

Have to start skein no. 6 7 row before bind off (80 grams left.)

First sleeve done. 70g of the next skein left. (so about 110g for one sleeve).
I did different stitch count for sleeves: I start with about 92sts, did 17x dec to get 56sts before ribbing. Ribbing 46 rows on needles 4mm.

Finished.
Second sleeve was easier to count.
Picking up the stitches for collar was much easier then usualy, thanks to knit stitch column. (althouhg I would work the selvage sts on the body differently next time, probably not the garter on the last st… looks weird but it is on the WS so doesn’t matter much). Picked up 192sts on every half. Two full skeins on the collar (few grams of yarn left)

Washed and dried.
Size seems fine, but the collar came out too large and long, it pull the whole piece down. I have to re-knit the collar on fewer stitches… (now I have 384sts, 31rows in front, 73rows behind the neck, almost 2 whole skeins). (photos on the wall)
