Test knit

Color A is the light purple singles, color B is the blue-green, and color C is the Manos del Uruguay purple.

Splotches in the second photo are shadows, not the yarn.

Background color in right hand in color sections.

Steam-blocked after yoke color section. Started 2nd skein of main color 2” after yoke.

Sewn bindoff at sweater bottom and cuffs.

Sleeves were too tight after 3 decreases, so I reknit them as follows. K 38 rounds (14+ 24), then knit decrease round, K 11 rounds 4 times, then decrease round, K 4 rounds, then decrease to 35 stitches, then start colorwork.

Knit 3 rounds after colorwork before starting the cuffs, increasing 1 st to get an even number for the ribbing.
