Meris - Upper Back Done - Really

This time the upper back is really done, all the way through the armhole increases.  I pinned it out on my gridded blocking board using the schematics to check the size.  So far it is looking okay.  Now I get to pick up stitches for the front.  The armhole increases were done with directional lifted increases, which I've always liked and use a lot.  The underarm stitches were cast on using the cable cast on.  This photo was taken with the flash.
