I finished up the raglan increases this morning and have set up for working the body. When I finished the last row of the raglan portion I counted the stitches in each of my sections and was very pleased when there were all correct. When I’m working so many rows of increases I always worry a little about forgetting one (or more) and ending up with the wrong stitch counts. Last night I draped it around my shoulders just to see how it was fitting and it is so warm and soft. It is going to be a very cozy cardigan. I only have 4 balls of the purple yarn, and I’m already into my second ball, so I am a little worried about running out of yarn. When I get to the end of this ball I’m going to work the sleeves, and then I can determine if I’m going to need another ball. Given that I’m carrying the mohair along with the purple I’m not too concerned about possibly getting a different dye lot. Marling can hid a multitude of sins.
