Jacket progress

The leftmost piece is the side front. The middle piece is the neckband/front. The yarn's a wool/llama blend by Cascade. The brightly colored piece is the top of one of the sleeves. The yarn's two balls of Manos del Uruguay wool. The balls are not identical, but have a lot of the same colors in common. I'm crocheting two rows in one and switching to the other for two rows..

I've got to decide on more colors for the sleeves. There's a lot more pink in the Manos del Uruguay that this picture shows. I'm considering some multicolored pink as the next stripe, with some beige-ish stuff to fill in when that color runs out.

The last stripe's a problem. I've got some green that works with the other sleeve colors, but doesn't work well with the front colors. Looks like it might be time to dump a bin of yarn out and hunt for another solution.
