You'll notice from these photos that some progress has been made......the hoodie is assembled and blocked, except for the hood. Turns out the hood was a booger, too......It called to have 40 stitches on either side of the 19 held stitches picked up. Seemed like no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find space for more than 30 stitches on each side. AAARGH, I picked up and ripped back at least six times. My stubborn streak took over, and the seventh time was a charm. So, after all that work, was I really going to sew it up with sleeves of two different lengths? Uh, apparently not. So I've ripped the offending sleeve, and am in the process of re-knitting. Stay tuned.....
