I finished the front/neckline ribbing on this and wanted to try it on.



(The colors in these photos are a bit off - too bright in my sewing room.  And I will only spend so long fiddling with the balance of a project-in-progress photo.)

 

I'm so, so glad I added the extra length.  It fits perfectly now.  Just the way I wanted it.  The seeded ribbing was a fun change from plain ribbing and I like the way it looks.  I ended up doing only 6 rows of the ribbing, then I bound off on a wrong side row.

Next up: pick up bottom ribbing/ties, then short sleeves.

Beautiful! I want to start a top down raglan now!

Thanks! I am becoming smitten with top-down raglans. It's so easy to alter for fit as you go.
