I had an issue with the pattern already. The pockets didn’t seem right. I held the stitches to the front to become the pockets, rather than to the back to become the sweater. This way I didn’t have the sort of purl bump looking things from the kfb on the front of the sweater. I then joined yarn to do the pocket fronts and kept the original skein for the body of the sweater. This may put me off by one row technically on the body, but it’s working better for me. I much prefer how this looks. I did see one other person had commented about this issue, but Tanis hasn’t commented about it yet.

Not the best photos, but I wanted something at this point. :)

Another issue I found, after the decreases for the raglan it has an odd number of plain rows, which would put the next row as a purl row. It’s not, though, according to the pattern, so I did one row less, using the last purl row from the decreases as the first plain row.

I love the little hood. :)

Finally, totally done. The zipper is less than perfect… :/
