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?

I've always seen them as sorta marketed for helping control tension. Are they useful for that, or just to keep the yarn in place?

Oh, I'm not sure. I've never noticed that the bowl made a difference in my tension, but I can't afford the fancy yarn very often, so I rarely use one.
