Table of contents for Friday Guinea Pigs: TDVNR Knitalong

OK, I admit it’s been a couple of weeks, and I still have not fixed the collar on my top-down V-neck raglan from the Friday group class knit-along. Part of that is due to a whole lot of teaching going on, and part of that is due to another sock pattern I am designing for my friend Deb of Fearless Fibers… you’ll hear more about that later.

The top-down rust raglan that I knit for the Friday Group Class knit-along was finished last Friday (or so I thought).
I picked up around the neckline and knit simple K2, P2 for a polo style collar. (Turns out that isn’t going to work so well — but more about that in a minute.)

It fits!

Wow, does it fit!
These may be the very least baggy armholes I have ever knit for myself.
And — lest you think this is some kind of freak accident that was bound to happen someday if I just kept knitting long enough — looky, it pretty much matches the sweater I was trying to copy.

As anyone who has been reading lately knows, the Friday Group class regulars decided that they wanted to do a top-down raglan sweater, knit-along style.
Only thing is, they are all different shapes and sizes — being that they are human beings and all.

Yes, you may well have been questioning why there is a total of 12 UFO's on my UFOlympic "decathlon" list. (Actually, there are 13, because I had to add one UFO #0 that I forgot about when making the original list.) But it's a good thing.
