Done
DN’s lime green raglan is ready to wear. I am quite pleased with myself; I do NOT like weaving in ends and tend to put it off till “later”, but this time I actually got it done the same day I finished the actual knitting. Another first for me was the way I dealt with the underarm shaping. I did not cast off the stitches, but instead placed them on some spare yarn, and when done with the knitting used kitchener stitch to graft the sleeves and body together. As you can see in the picture, it is not perfect, but as this is my 1st time ever doing kitchener stitch I am quite happy with the result.

Your lime delight looks delicious–does it get cold enough there to actually wear a sweater?
And I do adore your Yarn Over site. Thanks for all the work you put into it.
