My progress so far...
Hey folks, just joined this KAL and am really looking forward to seeing everyone's projects. I decided to do mine in some Rowan Calmer (Coral) I had in the stash as I thought this design would make a great spring/lighterweight sweater. I really love working with this yarn and just hadn't found the right project for this bunch of it (got it on a GREAT sale too!) As I need a 50" finished garment, I'm overgauging just a smidge and so far it seems to be going well. I just started the 2nd repeat on the main cable chart and the side cables on the sleeves. I love working sweaters from top down...somehow they just seem to go faster and of course I love not having seams to sew up. The cables are a little on the loose side but I think (from past experience with this yarn) that they'll sort themselves out nicely after a wash/block.

While shopping for new yarn today for my Raglan, the shop owner actually suggested calmer. I would have jumped at it, but she only had pastels. Your color is so vibrant. Love it.

I really like the Raglan in the coral color. Calmer is one of the yarns that I have been wanting to try for some time. I can`t wait to see the finished sweater.
That is an awesome color-what a great choice!
