I finished my top-down raglan sweater early this afternoon. At the end of every project, I am overcome with feelings of elation as I weave in and snip the final yarn ends. This project was no exception. And I could hardly wait to wear it, so I gave it a quick steam with the iron and put it on the bed to cool and rest. I am wearing it now, and it is just wonderful! It hope that I never tire of the exquisite feeling of handspun and handknitted wool goodness.
Knitting a sweater from the top down was a new experience for me, and I think I will be knitting the vast majority of my future sweater projects this way. It is just so logical. Though I really can't stand slipping my knitting onto waste thread in order to check the fit, I found myself giving in to this necessity every couple of inches. As a result the sweater fits me very well.
I am off to scheme about my next sweater.
