I’m not happy with the fit around the armpit. But I’m also not reworking it given the number of yarn changes. I’m working the neckband next because that might change the way it sits which could impact how long I work it.

There’s going to be lots of ends to sew in. I hope I can even things out when I do.

The pattern has a folded neckband. I used crochet to join and I really like the finish.

I made it pretty long to match the inspo pic. The hem flips a bit but not while wearing it, so that’s all right. I sewed in some of the ends but not all of them. Just where I think it might shows. I never found a jogless technique that worked for me. I don’t care. It’s not the end of the world and I’m really happy with how it turned out.

One final note. The armscye is too deep. It’s not too noticeable, unless I raise my arm. I made the sweater long, so it doesn’t really bother me that it rides up.

Next time stop the raglan increases sooner, and just cast on the extra stitches at the underarm.
