Knitting monogamy works. Who’da thunk it?
\nSince my last post, I’ve been working furiously and monogamously (apart from a coffee date!) on Em’s cabled hoodie.

\nAnd I’ve managed to complete the entire raglan shapings! I’m up to the hood now – 26cm of solid straight stocking stitch lies ahead of me, and I’ve suddenly lost interest in it.
\nI’m not 100% happy with the raglan decreases, I wish I’d gone with something a little less obvious, but it’s not bothering me enough to rip it out and start over.
\nI’m pretty sure at this point that I’m going to be able to finish the whole thing without one single seam. I’m going to kitchener graft the underarm seams. The pattern called for me to cast off at the neck and pick up stitches for the hood. I’m not going to do that, I’m going to use the live stitches. But to counteract any stretchiness at the neckline, I’m going to do a crochet chain seam to stabilise it.
\nThe pattern also says to work straight for the hood, then cast off stitches at each side, then work a long strip down the middle, seaming it up at the end. I think I’m going to incorporate some short row shaping and avoid a seam again.
\nIt works in theory!
