Aran sleeve "swatches"
I am knitting two sweaters at the same time, which really makes the process drag out. But I have a good reason. The darker sleeve is for a present for my husband (Shh!) It is the Torgeir by Lavold, in Silky Wool. The decoy sweater, to throw him off track in case he sees either sweater, is the A-line Aran by Kathy Zimmerman, from Knitters Winter 1998, in Cascade 220. Both sleeves are blocking exactly to gauge, so my sizes are OK and I should have enough yarn, which is a relief! One of our cats, Rajah, seems to think this makes a nice cat bed in the sunshine... just his colors!

Your sleeves look great! Give Rajah a kibble and a good scratch under the chin for me!
