Cable-Down Raglan: Done

I finished the Cable-Down Raglan today. Here it is prior to blocking, also before I wove in the cast-off edges and did the underarm seams:

This sweater has too much room in the upper body. BUT! It is cotton/alpaca, which means that while blocking I was about to stretch it lengthwise and remove some of the poochiness above the bust. It came out OK. I still think I would make a smaller size and just add width to the bust with short rows if I were doing it over.

And for those who like to see it on a person, here you go, just moments after removing it from the blocking pad:

Yes, I set up the auto-picture on the camera and just at the moment when I was wondering why it was not snapping the stupid picture already, and had started reaching out to check, it took the photo. Since this is the only photo where you can actually see the sweater in any detail, this is the one you get.
