I’ve swatched for this pattern, measured, and measured again. The Westward Sweater by Tayler Harris is beautiful and it knits up quickly. But I’ve found that I’m petite. Real petite. I knew I was of short stature, but doing a dolman style sleeve has really tested my ability to get the oversized but not swimming on me fit I need.

Despite redoing the sleeves once and it feeling really great pre-block, the sleeves just ballooned after washing. So I’ll need to rip back about two or so inches on these and redo the ribbing. That will at least require very little knitting.
