Not So Great
I'm done with seaming. The sleeves turn out way too long. I'm really not happy. I tried shortened it about 2" while knitting. But after light blocking, it came out longer than I thought. The row gauge is definitely correct, I've checked and measured both sleeves couple of times. I'm thinking, I might have over stretched it a little while blocking. At this point, I'm just too lazy to frog and rework from scratch. Thought about wearing it with the sleeves roll up or may be eliminate the crochet edging. Do you think I can unravel the seam and frog a few rows from the bottom of the sleeve? Can't really think right now. I'm going to continue with the crochet edging for the front panel and see If I can come up with a better solution.

I think it looks great! With regards to the sleeves, how about turning the extra length in at the cuff and hem it in on the wrong side. Actually Whisper that I'm knitting right now called for such a finishing.
I agree, the sleeves are a bit long but you can turn them up and attach a button or something so that it holds... like one of those peacoat things. Or just leave them and go with the oversized sweater look :-) It still looks great and the colours are beautiful.
It looks so good. Love the way the yarn stripes are vertical. If the sleeves really bug you, you could cut off the excess and graft back the edge?
I think it looks good too! It doesn't look like the sleeves are really that long, but it may be the way you are posing.
Even though the sleeves are a tad long, the rest looks like it fits really good, and I'm loving the vertical stripes.
I'm sure whatever you decide to do, it'll be great. You're very talented!
Love those stripes!!
About the sleeves, I had a crazy thought of just cutting it shorter and do some crochet edging. Don't listen to me though.
well I think it looks great and I like the sleeve length, but it's not my sweater. : ) I would frog a bit from the caston edge and then work on a finishing you like. This way youll be happy with the sweater
i think it looks lovely!! but you can definitely unravel the CO edge of the sleeve, and fix from there. are you thinking more of a bracelet length?
wow i think those colors look great on you. as for the sleeve, i think you can unravel it to make it shorter or even just hem it if you don't want to deal with the unravelling. it's going to be a beautiful sweater.
I think it looks lovely! I found this Noro Silk yarn in a LYS, the colors are so beautiful. For the sleeves you can unravel the botton just a few rows. Maybe wait for a calm day, that's what I do when things need extra work.
If you unravel at the cast on end, you can use the unraveled yarn to to the crochet live stitches as an edging.
I have this on my wishlist but never got the yarn for it. Looks gorgeous!!

Beautiful cardigan, gorgoerus colour. It looks great on you !
Don't know if you've done anything with it or not by this point in time. You can cut the sleeves about a 1/4 inch from what you want the length to be. Carefully unravel the cut threads. Pick up the stitches and bind off (or crochet the ends).
Use the cut pieces to make wrist warmers. Unravel enough to finish the edge(s).
