8/31/2014:
Needed to add 2 1/2 inches to length before armhole to accommodate my gargantuan muscles.
9/5/2014:
Rate of increases at armhole causes “armhole pooch”. I checked the original project photos, and it’s not just me. Referring to chicknits’ Mondo Cable Cardi, because the raglan increases are faboo.
