Split Neck Raglan
Now Playing: My 2nd sweater
I have knit a 2nd sweater. It is called a Split Neck Raglan. I got the pattern from a free leaflet, at Hobby Lobby. I used Yarn Bee Highland Thistle yarn, in the color tam o shanter. I was almost finished with the sweater on Monday, when I ran out of yarn. I had finished everything except the collar. So Tuesday I decided to go to Hobby Lobby again ( a 50 mile round trip for me) To pick up 1 more skein of yarn. When I got to Hobby Lobby, I looked high and low and could NOT find the color that I needed. They had every other color I swear. I couldn't believe it. All the work that I had done on my 2nd sweater, and now I would not be able to finish it. Well I was to excited to see the finish of this sweater so I chose another color for the collar. Yarn Bee Highland Thistle in the color mackay blue. And to my surprise, I like the way that it looks with the plain blue collar much more then if I had found the matching yarn. It was a very pleasant surprise I might add.

I think it looks better with the solid blue collar then it would have with the continuation of your original yarn. Divine intervention.
