Colorful yoked sweater

A few years ago my brother selected two sweaters for me to make for his birthday. One was of a Norwegian design in off white and the other was a sweater with a colorful yoke. I have been working on this sweater knit in the round for several years. I am now 4 1/2 inches from completing the sweater.  After visiting the LYS to pick up a ball of Karabella in a color I had run out of, I returned home to work on a row and some.  I knit a round a day. Soon I will complete the last six rows of design and begin to knit on the collar ribbing. 

It has been three years and I am excited to be completing the sweater.  After I complete the collar, I then stitch the underarm seams.  Then I will send it to my brother to try on. I am particularly concerned about the sleeve lengths. I hope and pray they are not too long. 

I am still working on the hat for my doctor.  I may run out of yarn and require another ball. I will know soon enough by Saturday.
