Everything else is crocheted and now I’m on the sleeves…
I intend to make the sleeve about 5" long before I start to shape the raglan.
There is a certain amount of shaping that goes on before the raglan is officially started and the sleeve is supposed to be 12" long.
At first, I wasn’t too sure how I was going to make the sleeve shorter with the shaping that goes on first but then I discovered that they only want it shaped for about 5 rows and then you work to 12" and start the raglan shaping.
I think this will be a piece of cake. The sleeve doesn’t have to be exactly 5" long (my preferred measurement). It could be a little longer if I have to accommodate the pre-shaping.
I’ve used a lot of different colours with the shaggy stuff. The sleeves are starting out with a green… looks kind of neat to my eyes. Hopefully, it won’t just look disjointed when I’m finished. I’m using a darkish green for the shoulders so that might be okay. At this time, I’m enjoying the softness of the fabric… and I’m thinking, because it’s coming out to a lovely thickness, it’s going to be warm but light to wear. (Hopefully)
I’m planning on working some long fingerless gloves to wear with the jacket on cool days…
