This is the picture of the sweater I will be sending to my brother for Christmas. Note: I will be sending him the picture, not the sweater. The sweater has sleeve problems. The sleeves are too big in circumference. When I try to put them in using the various methods suggested by the experts, the sweater looks bunchy and bad. My plan is to frog the sleeves down a bit and decrease the number of stitches by ten.
Edit: My plan is to frog the sleeves down a bit and decrease the number of stitches by ten when I get around to it. Which may be before Christmas, it may be after Christmas. In the meantime, my brother will have this lovely little picture to keep him warm.

This is why I knit raglans now. Too many lovely sweaters have been lost to my 'when I get around to seaming' piles. Finishing is the rub isn't it?
Amazing sweater though- I'm sure he will love to wear it when it is finished.

Good luck with the sweater. I was mostly writing to say thanks for your lovely comment on my blog. If you have trouble finding the Bryars CD, let me know and I will burn mine for you.
Peace,
Milton
