I hope to finish it within the week.
I do have a question for those of you who have done this sweater. Did you use the smaller needles for the ribbing on the sleeves? I worry that the ribbing could end up too tight. Did any of you use the same size needle for the sleeve ribbing as the rest of the sweater? I am knitting the body on a size 6 and the pattern calls for size 4 needles for the ribbing. I may comprimise and use a size 5. Any suggestions?

I knit mine with size US 5 needles. I am quite happy with the arm band fit. It is one of my sweaters that I reach for every time I plan to go out.
I used the smaller needles, but honestly, it doesn't make a huge difference. When I did the bottom ribbing, I forgot to switch needles for 3 rows or so and I don't see a noticeable difference where I made the switch.
I actually ended up ripping back my sleeves and redoing them with some decreases because they were too big, but that was probably caused by my messing with the pattern.
Oh I love that color! I'm getting ready to start one in a chocolate brown!
