Suggestion
On the intarsia graph, mark the rows where you need to decrease for the armholes. That way you won't get all wrapped up cursing at intarsia, forget to decrease, and then end up cursing even more as you rip out said intarsia after you realize there is nowhere to set in the set-in sleeves. Ahem
