Very excited that my WIP is now a reasonable size to try on and looks like it's going to be perfect!!

Fiber: The Wandering Flock Baby Paca (50% Merino, 30% Alpaca, 20% Nylon) in limited edition colorway "Summer Tie Dye"

Needles: Knitpicks Mosaic Options Interchangeable Needles in Size 7

Pattern: Jessie Maed Design's Cozy Classic Raglan, Size 3X, with significant modifications.

I'm holding the Baby Paca (a light sport weight yarn) double to achieve a heavy DK / light Worsted weight sweater, and am planning to do bishop sleeves with a sweatshirt-style blouson fit and a wide cinched waistband. I'll do this color, Summer Tie Dye, to the upper bust, then do some striping, and then finish with the same yarn in the Neon Pink colorway.

I recently discovered the Portuguese style of knitting and it's really helping with my hand / wrist pain. If you're interested in trying the style, I recommend Very Pink Knits' youtube series on it, linked here.

Links are just for those interested; I don't make any money off of them. :)

perhaps my fellow garment knitting oomfs can relate — I finallllly tried on the tank I've been knitting and it's SUCH a trial!! ; o;

I use circular needles and don't have any connectors, so I have to transfer alllll the stitches to a piece of scrap yarn, try it on, and then move them allllll back to the needles. It's such a pain lmao.

The good news is that fits really well! And there's room for it to shrink or grow a bit and still be comfy. c:
