It's a perfect fit!

I decided to leave the sleeves with a little roll at the end, like some of you suggested, and I really like the way it looks. And the bell sleeves turned out just the way I pictured them!

I've got my hands on my hips. I'm sassy like that.

Here's a view that really shows the bell of the sleeve:

I'm admiring my work.

I am super proud of this sweater. I made changes in the pattern to suit my style, but I was also able to really knit it to my size and shape. Bonne Marie's patterns are extremely well-written - the sleeve cap could NOT have come out more perfectly.
