So I dialed down the puffy sleeves by starting with fewer motifs at the top of the shoulder and increasing as I work subsequent rows.
Left shoulder.
Right shoulder.
Looking good.
Except for the fact that my armpit is getting SQUEEZED by the arm hole. Argh!
I actually did several more rows after this to see if the hole would stretch a little. No way. No day.
The architecture of the stitches changed when the sleeve stitches were added to the design. In
sweater 2.0, there were no sleeve stitches to give the sweater stability, so the motifs stretched more top-to-bottom around the arm hole.
So I started over ...
... again.
