The raglan shaping is done, and then some! Yeah, this one is just hard to put down, knitting my handspun Rambouillet is just so nice. At this point I’ve knit up two skeins and started on a partial third. I have some partial skeins from frogging the tank, which I will use on the sleeves. I did make a modification to the raglan shaping, which for my size ended on row 54, after several rows with raglan shaping on every row. I’m not exactly crazy about that every row shaping as it makes a run of tight stitches that I think are just not that attractive, plus I needed more depth for my armholes. I ended up ripping back those rows, which was easy to do with this yarn as the stitches do not disappear making it pretty stress free to just pull the needle out, rip back, and then carefully put the needle back in to the stitches. After I got all my stitches back on the needle I reknit those rows but only worked the increases on the right side rows, adding six more rows to get the armhole depth that I need. Unfortunately I may have done something screwy with the neck shaping in the process (adding those extra rows changed the slope a fair bit), but it looks like it will be easy to deal with when I work the neck edging. The fit is absolutely perfect, and I am very much looking forward to finishing this one up.
