I'm trying my hand at the Handsome Chris Pullover after successfully (nearly) completing a colourwork jumper.

I feel like I'm going to jinx myself but it's actually been easier than I thought so far and no major issues. I've had to ladder down a couple of times to fix a cable but I can manage that. Only on the back panel about half way through so we'll see how I feel when it comes to the neck at the front!

The pattern seems a bit bare when talking about the arms, does anyone have any experience with making this and have any ideas/advice on the arms?

No sleeve advice, but it's looking flipping amazing so far! The second best thing about cables is how complicated and impressive they look to non-knitters while actually being pretty easy, but even so that's a lot of cables ๐Ÿ˜…

Thank you! Yes it's quite fun being all casual about doing something that looks complicated. I am pleased I can cable without a needle though and don't think this would be possible without that technique!
