Guess who managed to seam the shoulders up? Sure, it took a lot little of tugging, swearing, and Law & Order, but it is done. The best news is it's so roomy that the kiddo should be able to wear it this fall too. That alone makes up for all those issues.

A note to all pattern writers. For the love of GOD, will you PLEASE stop putting your increases at the start and finish of a row, and instead move them in a stitch or two? It won't kill you, I promise. And it'll make things so much easier for others who don't understand what a bitch it is to sew up a sleeve without a selvedge. Thanks.
