Into a Tubey.
Now, I promptly ran into an issue with the construction. I don't have a clue how much yarn I really have, or whether it will be enough for full sleeves. Tubey is knit sleeves first, then the body down.
Since I really prefer having a body on the sweater (I am way to hold to have my stomach and belly button hanging out), it means that I am going to have to knit up, then do a bit of complicated fudging to knit the sleeves out from the center as part of the garment (I hate sewing things together when there is an alternative.
Deciding that I really don't want much white on the bottom/sweater body - I have started.
Since all the colours originally came from the same set of bats, separated out by colour for spinning, I am hoping that this will work.
And 5mm needles are so big!

I'm sure the colours will work beautifully! As for the construction, I'd have started with the sleeves, as instructed, but only doing very short ones that I would have completed later (starting with a provisional cast-on for the first and leaving the stitches of the second on waste yarn). I'm looking forward to seeing your solution: learning new tricks is always useful!
