Ravenclaw Raglan — Almost There…
It’s almost done. All I have to do is to ask The Husband for help getting the House Ravenclaw patch on the front1 once the wool is thoroughly dry.

Oh, and here’s a picture of the Ravenclaw patch. I bought this on eBay at the same time I bought the yarn. I’m going to ask The Husband to put in on the upper left side. I’m going for that English prep school/Quidditch team look (and I’m looking to cover up an inelegant bit where I had to add in a new skein of yarn mid-row).

I’m really liking how the Cascade 220 softened after a wash with the Eucalan. My next Cascade 220 project will be the Mrs. Darcy Cardigan. I’m not sure if I’m quite ready to tackle that project, though. After doing a top-down raglan, going back to seaming and set in sleeves… Yeesh. Maybe I can redesign a top-down raglan cardi with some of the stitch pattern from the Mrs. Darcy. It’s a thought.
Christopher helped with the blocking. Nothing can be done in this house without Cat Supervision.

It’s a wonderful thing to see The Boys are settling right in, and getting on with their duties! They are beautiful.
The sweater is, too.
