Green Gables sweater

Has anyone made this? I’m at the part where you take the sleeve part and put it on waste yarn, but I have more stitches (I think) than they suggest.

Can anyone help me? Are there extra arm stitches left on the needle when you place the 53 stitches on waste yarn?

TIA

I’ve not made it, but I searched the forum and found a link to a post where a member made it. You could always PM her if no one else can help.
