Sleeves too big - back to start :-(
I just tried it on - after clue3 and half through clue4 sleeves. And its way to big :-( looks like a balloon sleeve.. I need to frog back to at least and of clue3 add another decrease and execute the color B parts with a smaller needle. I'm ao frustrated - the progress is already so slow and now it pushes me back even more.

I know it's a preference thing but I did my decreases in the sleeves to leave enough fullness at the end to do a one row drastic decrease right before wrist cuffs. I guess you could call it a balloon but I prefer a fuller sleeve vs a more fitted sleeve. Yours will look great either way!

Blocking pre-zipper
Waiting for this to dry so I can add the final zipper. It's like watching paint dry.......or waiting for the weekly clues to come out 😉 I'm so happy with it and can't wait to take the final picture wearing it!

@Earnie Pappnase yes. I picked up 1 stitch on each side of the steek but not the central 5 steek stitches. I have more details in my Ravelry project. You can find it under "omiitofo" (my Ravelry name).

@Ewa Sowa I finished the zipper add today!!! It turned out perfectly. I need to get a wider ribbon to cover the zipper band and steeked edge but until that happens it is totally wearable. Will snap final photos when the ribbon has been added.

Done knitting, now all the ends!
I finished this morning, and I love how this turned out. I kept second guessing my choices as I worked on the project, but also kept reminding myself that I was trying to reduce my stash, which is why I chose to use three different colors for color C, gray, blue, and purple. I did not have enough green to do another transition on each of the sleeves, so instead I repeated the colorwork pattern and colors of clue one. Look closely as there is a single round of green before the purple of the cuffs. That is all the green I had left. I also included a photo of the inside of the sweater as I am also proud of my sweater from the inside.

Blocking and almost finished!
Because I am adding a zipper instead of buttons, I substituted the ribbed button band for a few rows of stockinette followed by a 3 stitch i-cord bind off. Once it dries, I’ll be adding my first zipper to a cardigan! Thanks so much for a fun adventure, Zanete!

I would like to do the same for mine but I've never done zipper before. Is there a specific zipper teeth size or identifier that I should be looking for?

@Angel Fitzgerald thank you sooooo much!! I will look at those now. I went ahead and did 3 stockinette rows and then a 5 stitch icord bind off. All my other bands were held double and the 3 stitch i cord didn't look beefy enough. I think the 5 stitch will work. Now off to do some zipper learnin'! Thanks for the inspiration.
