(requisite apologies for the mac-cam photos... but it was the easiest way)
I'm currently in the midst of a sweater KAL with two dear friends who now live in different time zones. We're working on elfe and I'm trying to decide if I should go on as is, or rip back and do the smaller size. (Currently working on size medium but I thought I was between sizes and this would make a slightly slouchier t... now I'm not so sure.)
With my arms out (like above) I think it looks huge. But since I generally don't walk around like that.... 
It looks better with my arms down, right? Except the arm-holes, which still look huge... or am I crazy? (I put the stitches for the arms on hold rather than casting off... I think I will want to add some length to them, depending on how much yarn I have left over...)
So do I rip back and start over? Or trudge on and hope for the best? For now this has been cast-aside until I can decide, but I'd really love to have it finished so I can wear it before it's so cold that I'll have to cover it with another sweater...

too big? or just right?

I agree, I think it looks kind of big, but I'm a recent convert to negative ease. any way you can do an in-between size? that's what I'm doing on my "on the beach" & it seems to be working out fairly well thus far.
Yeah, I definitely want it to be on the negative ease side, but the arms especially look too big. And if I run out of yarn and can't make them too much longer they might end up looking like wings! I'm thinking about sticking with the med size and maybe using smaller needles? My gauge is already smaller than it should be and I was thinking the stitches were too big....
Sigh.
