As I mentioned in the last post, I knit my first sleeve without being able to try it on.
The instant I had cut open the second sleeve steek, I pulled it on. (Note still unfinished, rolly-polly bottom.) It was just fine from the first try. I have to say, it's a little bit weird to wear a sweater with only one sleeve, though. The other arm feels strangely chilly.
It's a little bit tight. Next time I knit a sleeve, I'll give it more ease. I will especially leave more ease at the cuff. However, I'm happy with things as they are and it's certainly a wearable thing.
One other thing I'll do next time is make an underarm gusset. I wasn't planning well enough in advance, nor was I technically ready to do so on this sweater, but the underarm gets a little bit ruched up when my arm is down and that wouldn't happen if there were a gusset.
