Skeins of hand dyed can be wildly different (which of course is their appeal!!)

It is my favorite part as that was my "job" as a young person... Do your research if you can. There is not a lot out there about it. I find a crochet edging helpful...

The arm holes are coming up and make me just a little nervous.

Just a tip I've heard about hand dyed yarn, sometimes they vary in color even in the same dye lot so many people suggest alternating skeins to mask any subtle differences. I would hate for you to end up with a striped sweater if that's not what you intended.

I'll probably cut it up and bind it for a dollblanket or project bag! Live and learn! I also want to make your Birch Tree quilt-- next year!

They are the same as other knits; they just have a few more stitches.<br />Good call too on not going cheap on the yarn.
