The sleeves seem as if they'd be very tight if the sweater was worn over a shirt that had sleeves. Solution: redo the sleeves to add a pattern repeat in the section of bound off stitches. (Can't fudge with the live stitches held on waste yarn.)
And that worked out perfectly.
The additional pattern repeat makes all the difference. The pattern shows people wearing the sweater over camis and summer frocks, but I wanted to be able to wear it over whatever I wanted to wear it over. And now, I can.
Oh - Julie - you're so right about waste yarn. It's a horrible name. They could say 'scrap yarn.' They SHOULD say scrap yarn. Let's lobby!

Awwww, bummers! Although I know not of this "knit-speak" of live stitches from waste yarn (how can there be such a thing as waste yarn?), I do understand trying to squeeze imore stitches into a space. Hope you can work it out!
