Someone Please Laugh.
The sweater I've been working very hard on for my dear, loving husband doesn't &#^%@ fit.
The arm length/width is perfect. The body is fine, maybe a bit short, but can be fixed.
However, the shoulders fit me.
I think my shoulders are the only petite place left on my body.
Not good. He's 6 feet tall with wide shoulders. How could this happen? Do I start over with a different sweater pattern?? I've ripped back the arms repeatedly. I really, really want this project d.o.n.e.
I've never had trouble like this on arms before. Ok, maybe I have, but I've been able to fudge it better, I guess. It's depressing.

Unfortunately, I can be of no help. But don't worry, I'm certain it's saveable. Just wait until a more experienced sweater knitter pops by.
That's horrible! I wish I had some advice for you, but I have only finished little kid sweaters.
I think you can open up the sleeve, leaving an armhole attached. Then add in a wedge over the shoulder. It can be a style feature! I'm adding a sketch to the Yahoo snb photo page. It will eventually be posted.

I'd keep it maybe one day "our mascot" will fit into it. I'd just make a new one.
What's done is done.
what???? I really have no experience for men sweaters... Did you figure out how to do the neck band? Still puzzles me...
Show us some pics and maybe we can help you out! Some ideas off the top of my head -- make the tops of the front and back a little wider, cutting into the arm holes. Or, make the sleeves a little longer so they can make up for the missing shoulder, sort of like a drop shoulder in reverse.
Good Luck!
