Progress! And... A Minor Setback

I've been working on the beautiful Rocky Coast Cardigan (see below). Other knitters reported that the sweater had tiny tiny arms, so the creator released alterations. I followed the alterations, and was feeling pretty good about the quick progress I was making. Until I tried on the sweater last night. Despite the alterations, the arms are still really tight! I don't want to sound conceited, but I have pretty small arms, so if this is a problem for me, it must be a problem for everyone making the sweater!

Now, I have to undo the whole sleeve! I think that if I just redistribute the decreases, the arm will fit better. It's still frustrating to have to frog over a foot of knitting.

Time to stop whining and get back to my needles...
