DH's sweater is done! Well,

DH's sweater is done! Well, the knitting is. I've blocked it, and sewn in one sleeve. Hopefully, I will get it done tonight. Unfortunately, finishing is my least favourite part.
Apart from swatching, that is.
I have swatched for Em's Lime and Pink sweater. The recommended needle size is 4mm. 3.75mm swatched too small, 4mm Addi Turbos swatched too small. 4mm anodised circ did the job on the swatch.
So I cast on my 400 or so stitches, and started the ruffle. I completed the ruffle and did a few rows, measured and realised that it was coming out too big, so I'm back to 3.75mm needles. My row gauge is off, though (well, duh!)
Here is where I was up to this afternoon.

This isn't a very accurate depiction of the colour, I'm afraid. I am doing stripes in the lime and hotpink that Bliss sent me. :) I have since started on the first pink stripe.
I also swatched for Butterfly. What a pain. The recommended needle is 5mm. I got stitch gauge on 4mm needles. My row gauge is short, again.
I detest gauge!
Now I just have to decide what size to make. I don't want it to be too big if I lose more weight, but I don't want it to be too small, either.
I also think that the sweater in the picture looks to have less ease than is recommended in the pattern. Decisions, decisions!
Have a good weekend all!
