Sleeves too big - back to start :-(
I just tried it on - after clue3 and half through clue4 sleeves. And its way to big :-( looks like a balloon sleeve.. I need to frog back to at least and of clue3 add another decrease and execute the color B parts with a smaller needle. I'm ao frustrated - the progress is already so slow and now it pushes me back even more.

I know it's a preference thing but I did my decreases in the sleeves to leave enough fullness at the end to do a one row drastic decrease right before wrist cuffs. I guess you could call it a balloon but I prefer a fuller sleeve vs a more fitted sleeve. Yours will look great either way!
Blocking pre-zipper
Waiting for this to dry so I can add the final zipper. It's like watching paint dry.......or waiting for the weekly clues to come out πŸ˜‰ I'm so happy with it and can't wait to take the final picture wearing it!

@Earnie Pappnase yes. I picked up 1 stitch on each side of the steek but not the central 5 steek stitches. I have more details in my Ravelry project. You can find it under "omiitofo" (my Ravelry name).

@Ewa Sowa I finished the zipper add today!!! It turned out perfectly. I need to get a wider ribbon to cover the zipper band and steeked edge but until that happens it is totally wearable. Will snap final photos when the ribbon has been added.
Finished πŸ˜‰
My rujuu cardigan was also finished this weekend. Im total happy with it 🀩

So pretty 😍
Done knitting, now all the ends!
I finished this morning, and I love how this turned out. I kept second guessing my choices as I worked on the project, but also kept reminding myself that I was trying to reduce my stash, which is why I chose to use three different colors for color C, gray, blue, and purple. I did not have enough green to do another transition on each of the sleeves, so instead I repeated the colorwork pattern and colors of clue one. Look closely as there is a single round of green before the purple of the cuffs. That is all the green I had left. I also included a photo of the inside of the sweater as I am also proud of my sweater from the inside.

The colors are fabulous!!
Blocking and almost finished!
Because I am adding a zipper instead of buttons, I substituted the ribbed button band for a few rows of stockinette followed by a 3 stitch i-cord bind off. Once it dries, I’ll be adding my first zipper to a cardigan! Thanks so much for a fun adventure, Zanete!

I would like to do the same for mine but I've never done zipper before. Is there a specific zipper teeth size or identifier that I should be looking for?

@Angel Fitzgerald thank you sooooo much!! I will look at those now. I went ahead and did 3 stockinette rows and then a 5 stitch icord bind off. All my other bands were held double and the 3 stitch i cord didn't look beefy enough. I think the 5 stitch will work. Now off to do some zipper learnin'! Thanks for the inspiration.
