WIP - Aran Sweater w/ Raglan Joins

[remclave]

Figured it was time to create a thread to keep track of my prograss.

Well, I've joined the front and back. I was really surprised at how quickly the stitching went! I will get piccies soon to show where I'm at with it. I developed the pattern for the sleeves last night and began knitting both sleeves together. They're on 14" No.5 needles right now as I don't have No.5 circs.

:D It's really easy. The hardest part was remembering to "read" my pattern properly for the nonsymmetrical cables that I chose to use. Once I figured that out, I just kept plugging along two steps forward, one step back ( :( leapfrogging) and now it's actually gotten pretty easy!
