Hi experienced sweater knitters! 
My gauge was dead on for this sweater, but for some reason I freaked out at the last minute and decided to make the larger size. Which was a terrible mistake, as it now looks like a grape with way too much +ease. It's a bottom up sweater with front and back panels and then the sleeves set in and the collar completed. Here's the thing.... I have not knitted the sleeves up yet and they are leg-of-mutton style sleeves. I made test sleeves a while back (for the small size) and they were pretty roomy. I am deeply afraid at this point that this style of sleeve in large size will be ginormous at the shoulder. I don't want to scrap the sweater, but I was thinking of grafting on a straighter sleeve style to this sweater. Does anyone think that that is possible or advisable? -- I've attached my purple version and a screen shot of the final sweater so you can see the sleeves. Thank you for any input!
