block before sewing

Normally I don’t like to wait to block before sewing together (too impatient); but with this, I’ll have to measure out the sleeve holes before cutting steeks, and it seems like a really good idea to get that measurement perfect before doing the cutting. I love the colors of the koigu - and I think it looks great with the white yarn as a background in this sweater. I have also finished the sleeves; and should be done with it soon. No hurry - I don’t have a specific baby in mind for it :)
I’m particularly impressed that I somehow managed to make the sleeves have a green stripe at exactly the same point on each one in the middle of it.

Beautiful!! How much yarn did you have left? I can’t wait to see the finished product :)
