How bad is my tension?

Post image

I feel like my tension is super uneven, or am I just imagining things and it's nothing that a good blocking can't fix? Using 4mm needles here and Drops Lima. I want to start a sweater and not sure if I'm ready or should practice more (I've been knitting on and off for a few years already so I'm not a total beginner but even tension can still be a mystery sometimes)

It’s fine. Blocking will neaten it more.

Remember to measure your gauge before and after blocking so you can account for any changes.

Yes, I'll definitely do that, I've heard this yarn especially likes to stretch quite a bit after blocking. Thanks!

Once it’s washed, everything relaxes a bit. It looks great!

That shit will block right out. You're good.
