I have made some great progress on my jacket! I am now close to where the armholes will begin, but I do not know what to do next. Help!

Your recent post on the steek-along jacket motivated me to get going on it again. I am nearing the armpit length on the first sleeve so I wanted to ask how long should the sleeve be? Armpit length to join with the body of the sweater or longer? Thanks!

HOLY CRAP! You're a woman on fire!

I'll post the finishing details ASAP, but you can start by grafting the arm pits - there's a grafting article at Knitty if you need know-how.
