The first one I knit disappeared somewhere within the post office system. It was never scanned in so it was impossible to track.

So I ordered more yarn and started a new one. This time I am carrying two strands of silk mohair as the pattern calls for (carried only one strand the first time around).

Sleeves: Rather than pick underarm stitches -- cast on equal number (10) stitches and then knit sleeves. Then false graft to close underarm hole. (Thanks to CocoKnits for the instructional video!)

Carrying that second strand of mohair made a big difference -- the resulting fabric is more substantial and stable and less drapey (in a good way).
