Here's what I mean, about the ugly arm seam:

Just, no. Having taken some time to contemplate things, I may just wind up redoing all of the seams again. The seams aren't quite so ugly in other places (you can see the side seam in the photo above), but on the other hand, I don't want to be constantly thinking about seams every time I put on this cardigan.

"Action" photos:

Can we call this the "octopus" stage?

I'd also be curious to know if I actually lined up the sleeve caps correctly. In theory, I should be lining up the top of the sleeve cap with the shoulder seam. But in practice, it looked to me like it lined up better the way I seamed it. Unfortunately for me, the original pattern doesn't indicate the correct piecing positions. This is probably just assumed information, because what kind of ignorant fool would knit a sweater as complicated as this one as only their second sweater?

At least this is a chance to start seeing what this cardigan will look like when finished!
