The tweed raglan is finally blocking...

Here's a quick shot of the raglan's progress -- the body and all but an inch of the first sleeve are done.   The waist and bust shaping flanks the cable on the body, and I worked the shaping of the flared sleeve into the cable so it's nice and tidy (click through to Flickr for notes).

I'm still in love with this yarn (Tahki Sedona 90% Wool, 10% Silk) and the body blocked beautifully -- it grew in wdith but not much at all in length (*so* thankful my gauge swatch was right!).

Only 5 days to knit until Rhinebeck...

ps - yes, I'm still planning to publish yardage requirements in time for Rhinebeck -- although probably not until Friday.  If you need them earlier let me know and I can give you an estimate.

Here's another sneak peak at the fall raglan.  It's coming along nicely, although I'm running up against some really tight deadlines at this point!  The body is just about done, so I still have sleeves, a yoke and a hood.  I'm still planning to wear this to Rhinebeck so I need to make some big progress today.

A few of you had asked if it will be done for Rhinebeck.  My plan is to wear it to Rhinebeck, although the pattern won't be out by then.  I should be able to calculate yardage though, so leave a comment if you're interested and I'll make sure I post yardage before the big day.
