I actually finished this up almost a week ago, back on March 26. After working the body, the sleeves worked up quickly. Overall, I am very pleased with how it came out. It is only my second colorwork sweater. The fit is good - roomy without being too oversized, so I can wear it over a t-shirt or turtleneck. The sleeve length is good - I was a little nervous about that because they were definitely short before I blocked it. The overall length is good as well. Blocking was straightforward - a good soak, roll it up in a towel and stand on it to get most of the water out, then lay it out on my blocking mats and smooth everything out.
After laying out on the blocking mats for a day, I transferred it to my sweater rack so that air could circulate around it and dry it quicker.
