progress with russet sweater

I have been knitting! This shows the progress (head cut off due to totally stupid expression on my face):
You have to look closely to realize the arm in back has no sleeve : ) The whole sweater is basted together; so I’ll have to unseam it, block the pieces, and then put it back together in a more permanent way. I wanted to check the fit since I’ve been worried about it fitting properly . The lace pattern scrunches up quite a bit as you can see on the sleeve. It’s possible the sleeve will get too long when I block it. I’ll try hard to block it for width and not length. I detest sleeves that are too short with a passion, so I’d rather have them too long than too short.

Wow! Beautiful pattern and gal wearing it (even though her head is cut off). The fit looks perfect.

Front shot please! Does the lace pattern go down into the v-neck? I can’t quite make out what’s going on there. Old eyeballs. :)
