The promise of a future sweater

It’s hard to believe that this sweater is actually going to fit, or look good.

It almost looks like there is half a body in there already, especially in the sleeve, which seems to have a life of its own. 

This picture on the carpet has no relationship to reality.  Does this fit a human (yes) is the arm too narrow (no).  Will it all work?  Well, I believe so as I have been trying it on as I go.  Of course I still have all the ends to deal with but I am growing much calmer about the prospect.  Right now it is just the seaming that is slowing down my progress.  There is so much "spaghetti" to work around that I have to be pretty meticulous in the seaming, not something I always feel like fighting my way through at the end of  the day.
