I have to say that sewing up a raglan sweater with saddle shoulders is an interesting job. The decreases make a wonky seam but there is no way to hide the decreases because of the ribbing. The side, sleeve and shoulder seams will be a no brainer.

Color changes proceed with shocking contrasts. I am having fun. The pattern is easy if you just follow the instructions. The head scratcher was the color change at the short end of the short rows. I had to cheat and look at what others did to solve the problem. Simple solution but it makes for bigger bands of color.

There is something to say for knitting it out of one color or a yarn that just changes color, but that would be no challenge - why take the easy path?
