Blue Tulip sweater - a bit of progress

I went to knitting last night at the local mall (where we always meet). Due to the hideous heat wave; there were tons of other people there as well. Didn’t deter us - we knit away as usual. I was planning on adding a stripe to the blue Tulip sweater - this is my first attempt:
It didn’t seem quite right to me. After a bit of consultation, I tried this:
Note the dark green rows, and then the light green. I didn’t like that either. Something about the light green didn’t quite sit right with me. So after ripping one more time, I came up with this:
Much better! (Color difference in the blue is because I took the picture at home in different lighting). I’ll do the same stripe on the bottom of the sleeves; and the border color will be the dark blue that is the center of the stripe.
Don’t forget to enter the contest! You have until Midnight on Saturday… then I’ll be drawing a winner.
How hot was it in my house? (It was 103 outside)
