Default Draconian sweater remediation

After cranking a few pairs of socks, finishing a pair by hand, and
doing a bit of spinning I got The Sweater out of time-out. Still
couldn't match gauge in pattern on the second sleeve so I employed
drastic measures: ripped the finished sleeve, knitted both sleeves in
stockinette. With luck it'll look planned, as I intend to do a double
garter ridge right around the whole thing when I finish the current
repeat (not too far in the future) on the body, then finish the yoke
in stockinette while I do the shoulder shaping.

Ugh. At least the upper body/shoulders shouldn't bag - I'm still
knitting a skosh on the tight side.
