See What Sticks

Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits on arrows sum to the number in the connected circle.
Along green lines, digits must differ from their neighbors by at least 5.
Purple lines contain a non-repeating set of consecutive digits in any order.
Digits in cells with a shaded circle must be odd. Digits in cells separated by a white dot are consecutive.
Digits in cells separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio.
(So named because my approach to setting this one felt very much like I was just sort of arbitrarily throwing stuff at the grid until something fell into place. Not always the most advisable way to do it, but in this case I was pretty happy with the results :)

I have said this before about James's puzzles, in the context of "artisanal", and i am compelled to say it again.
When solving this, you absolutely WILL see how this puzzle was constructed (and must be solved) one step at a time, in linear sequence, and is a perfect example of an "artisanal sudoku".
Brilliant puzzle.
