I eventually got more yarn from the girl who drew the sweater. Ill try to sum up things a little more quickly. I finished the sleeve. It got harder towards the finishing because I had to work the decreases in the right shape. But I did it. Go me! And because I wrote it out and the other sleeve is identical, I made the second sleeve so fast.

So now I wanna focus on the front and back of the sweater but of course I'm out of yarn. So I decide to figure out the ribbed cuffs she wanted. I used a chuncky not so bulky grey yarn that she picked (supposedly it matches the cream/grey pinstrip Oxford that goes underneath). I know how to make something look ribbed. But I had to figure out how to attached the two (sleeve and cuff). The simplest way seemed to be picking up stitches. And almost all basic knitting books I have and online show you how. Ohhhh how those step by step pictures suck. Lol. But I figured it out. ;)
Now that I had picked up all the stitches from the sleeve, I needed to figure out how I wanted the cuff. I tried a few different things and decided on doubling the yarn and using size 15 needles, which made it tighter and not so holey since the main yarn used with size 50 is REALLY thick.
I finally got it like I wanted (writting the pattern down along the way), bonded off. And repeated on the second sleeve.
Now I just have to wait to get more (ALOT more) yarn from her for the front and back.
