I was happily knitting away on the body of my pullover when I started worrying about yarn usage. I was working with the third ball of yarn, out of six total and it seemed to me that I had a lot of knitting left. I hadn't even gotten to the armholes yet and I had two sleeves yet to go, so I decided to take a break from the body and work the sleeves hoping that each sleeve would take less than a ball of yarn. Yesterday I finished up the first sleeve, and it did take a bit less than one ball. Now I'll work the second sleeve so I can finish working the body without worrying too much.
I went up a needle size on the sleeve because I always knit a little tighter when I'm knitting on small circular needles. I switched back to size 3 needles when I got to the armhole shaping.
