You can almost make it out now

I'm on the seventh of ten strips in my sweater. I have laid it out so that the back side is up. The last strip connects with the first to form a tube. The top of the sleeves are added. Then cuffs and neckband finish it.

Two things I'm worried about. First, the bottom has too much flare. Since it seems to have a nice drape, I'm hoping that it will hang nicely when I'm wearing it. Second, the skeins of yarn seem to have variations in color intensity. The ball I'm using now is much darker than the previous one. And the hope here is that a few washings will temper the difference. Now that I think about it, washing may help with the first issue since it may shrink up a bit, too.

So my motto now is

Make it work. Enjoy the process. The rest will come out in the wash.
