It’s just a generic top-down raglan. I knit the increases until it fits his shoulders, then divide for the trunk/sleeves.

I love, love, love this sweater. I think it’s the color(s).
Is it from a specific pattern? Or one of those top-down-raglan-plug-in-the-numbers deals?

Oh, yes, I can completely, I mean COMPLETELY relate to you here. This is why I started my 2010 challenge: 10 crafts in 20 days… For no other reason than to give myself a kick in the bud ALL YEAR LONG, to finish stuff.

It helps me also to get blog posts out, and to see what others are up to.
Wanna join the challenge? You can begin any time, and I’ve found it helpful so far…

The challenge is details on my blog, here:

Yep, short rows.

Oh, to have used up that much yarn! As part of my finish-or-frog uberlist item, I’ve been adding a bunch more to my stash. Alas! Or: hooray!

Lovely sweater! I was wondering, how do you get the back of the neck higher than the front without making a dip in the front? Short rows? Or casting on more stitches for the front of the neck than the back, and then somehow finagling the raglans?

I feel like i have kind of the opposite problem regarding WIPs. I’m trying to hold out on buying more yarn as long as possible (money shortage) and need to keep myself occupied with projects to resist the urge. I’m all out of sweater’s-worths and starting to run low (!!!) on sock yarn. But I have a decent stack of worsted single skeins and a couple of bulky weight that I want to do something with. Maybe mittens. I feel like we have enough hats and scarves at this point, and I don’t think the colors work with each other well enough to make a striped sweater. I’ve already made two large stash shawls (thanks to your fab pattern! :) which get a ton of use as couch blankets.

Oooooo I love that sideways sweater – and aren’t those nethergarments of all crazy wild colors the bee’s knees?

Also – your link to your linen skirt goes to the Ravelry page for the Ganomey Hat too…

I am often glad that I dont have a large supply of needles! I only have enough needles to have 3 or 4 projects going at a time…. I need to get some new needles though! I dont have anything small enough to knit my sweet new jewelry kit!!!!

I’m doing the same thing – no new projects at all this month- WIPs only!! I’m actually down to 7 WIPs and 1 hibernating project. I can’t believe it. I’m astounded at myself. Right now I’ve got 2 pairs of socks, 1 shawl, 3 cardigans (two that only need sleeves) and my endless sock yarn blanket. I’m really proud of myself! Next month I’m going to start another sweater and a coat. If I finish the socks, I’m allowed to cast of for more…
