the great sleeve debate...

so i think i've been doing ok so far... i finished the front and back pieces, no problem (pictures to come later today), and i just did the first sleeve. but here's my issue... i got to the end and i dropped the stitches, and i'm not sure how i feel about it. has anyone else dropped the stitches as done in the pattern? i love what shobhana did with her sleeve... i'm wondering if i should just frog it and start all over again. *sigh* :( why didn't they just keep it like the sleeves in the model?
