Swatching. 20 stitches per inch on US7 looks like a good fabric for a sweater after blocking.

Cast on.

Refresher on GSR

oops

There are 35 stitches for one sleeve, the other sleeve has 30. I did something wrong! Taking back to “Short Row Shaping.”

All ok now. I missunderstood where the BOR was. It is the back right sleeve.

Working on raglan increases. my gauge still seems to be on track.

First fitting. The fit looks good, oversized. Working straight K for the body of the sweater.

I decided to order more balls from Fleece & Harmony because it seems like I will run out of yarn. I tried to order 4, but they only have 3. I hope that it is the same dye lot. If not, I will deal with it when I use it.

Holding the body of the sweater on cables.
Working the first sleeve on US 7’s.

My plan is to soak and block the sweater before finishing the ribbing on the body and on the sleeves to be able to determine a good length before binding off.

To try for the second sleeve.

On try-on cords. Soak and dry flat to get a better idea of the length of sleeves and the body of the sweater.

1” more each sleeve. Each sleeve took a 50-gram skein.

4” more for the body.

With 100 grams left, I should have enough.

I will have 3 extra skeins (150 grams) which I will be happy to use for an accessory.
