Knitting for Olive Pure Silk Pattern Ideas

I have 3 skeins of Knitting for Olive Pure Silk in my stash, and I'm looking for something summer-y to use them on. It's Ice Blue and is already a very light fingering weight, so it's relatively see-through on me, so I think I'd want something that's more suitable for layering/accessorizing than something meant to be worn directly on skin. I'm not the biggest fan of fringes or things worn around the neck, and I also don't really want to look frumpy/conservative.

Sorry if this seems specific/confusing, and thank you so much!

Needle Difference in Sleeves

I was making the Sweater No. 15 from My Favorite Things knitwear, and I was a few rows(about one cable) into the second sleeve when I noticed that the needles I was using were slightly off. For the first sleeve, I used US 8 needles for the body of the sleeve and US 7 needles for the ribbing at the cuff, but I forgot to switch out the needles when I started the second sleeve, so I used US 7 for the body of the second sleeve. Should I just restart with the US 8 needles, or (I'm feeling particularly lazy today) could I potentially block out the size difference in the sleeve? I'm using non-superwash wool held double with mohair, so I know it won't grow that much, but I just wanted to know before frog the sleeve.

I am by no means a perfectionist with how I knit, but I just wanted to know if there would be a catastrophic difference.

uber driver made me pay for toll

I had a really weird experience a few days ago, and I was wondering if anyone had experienced anything similar. The ride was off from the beginning—I had scheduled a ride for 8:10 pm, and my driver got there 15 minutes early and started spam calling me to let me know she was there. After she started driving, she gets to the toll lane, and as we drive up to it, she asks me if I want to pay cash or credit. I was incredibly confused, as I had headphones in and had just finished a long school day + shift. She got weirdly defensive, pulled up to the toll, and told me to get out and pay. I just wanted to get home earlier, and the toll was only like $ 0.90, so I decided to pay, but it was definitely a very unnerving experience for me. I was even a little scared that she’d drive off without me after I paid, because she seemed so off. Uber support offered me $5 in cash, which was fine, but the experience was still weird.

edit: screenshot of receipt(with identifying information blacked out). It clearly shows a toll was included in the ride.
