That last couple of rows took forever! Here are some pics of my progress. The funny looking yarn threads are used for counting rows between increases/decreases. Some people use safety pins, but I prefer this method (esp great for counting incs on sleeves).
And a detail shot of the raglan sleeve:
I think it looks wonderful; it makes me want to start knitting mine even though there are so many projects in the pipeline ahead of it.
Perhaps some day I’ll post the roll call of shame — all of my unfinished and unstarted projects.

[…] Susan uses the same method. She described it here. Basically, when you get to an increase row, you “lay” a different colored yarn over the running thread between two stitches. Then you knit, which traps this yarn in place. It’s quick and easy and, if you forget to lay the yarn across the running thread until you are halfway through the row, you can pull it through with a crochet hook on the next (WS) row. When the garment is finished, you just pull it out. […]
