IT FITS!!!!!!!!!
The sleeves are finished, the seams sewn, the ends woven in and it fits! Not only that, but the seams look good and I think I might actually be happy with this sweater. *happy dance* I'm sure there are mistakes and some sloppy work, but none of that's to be found unless you really look for it with a magnifying glass, so I'm not bothered. I can't believe it actually fits! Now I just have to do the neck and I'll be done. Another two, maybe three evenings work. I might even be more motivated to work on it now since I know I'll actually be able to wear it. I think that might be the reason I've not been knitting so much lately, because I thought it surely wouldn't turn out right. So yay!
Pictures will follow.
Now I'm off to say a bedtime prayer that I don't find any huge mistakes in the cold light of day tomorrow.
Congratulations! Got my fingers crossed that NO NEW ERRORS are found. Cotton always seems so heavy, and I know it "grows", so you may be very glad of the structural support seams can provide. I have been threatening to make a sweater for my sweetheart, just have to make some decisions about the neckline, the color sequence (3 shades of green!), cables or not, etc, etc---I wonder if he'll still be my sweetie by the time I get it finished!
