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.
