Yeah, variegated yarn is always a bit of a surprise, and if I'd realized how much yarn I'd have left, I'd have switched to the second ball when I started the first sleeve; as it was, I didn't need to switch until midway through it, and the cocoa brown in the second skein is noticeably darker than it was in the first. No big deal, but I'll keep that in mind for the future.
'Zactly. When you get to the bottom front edging, you'll see that you're instructed to start it from where you left off on the back edging, knit it as a long strip and then sew it to the cast-on edge. Ditto the part of the neckband that gets put on stitch holders when you're knitting the fronts - you're supposed to go back knit the two bits of edging edging long enough to reach the back of the neck, sew them together and sew them onto the neck. Instead I just sort of reversed what you're doing on the back.
Feel free to holler when you get to that point. I think this sweater will look even nicer on you!
