Some of you may know that I have a designers page on Ravelry and occasionally I take a look at who has made what from my designs. Well, to my surprise, a knitter Ravelry-nicknamed Londasneller devised a great improvement on my design and here it is. A raglan sleeve! I loved it and wanted to know how she did it so I could do the same. She began at the wrist, and found that increases took her to up to the armpit, where decreases could be made for the sleeve cap.

This may be all gibberish to non-knitters, but I know some of you are paying attention, so for you very few, here's what I did with her directions.
I made a mess.
Three sleeve versions before I got it right. Here are versions 1 and 3, stacked. I decided not to start at the wrist but at the sleeve cap and increase to the armpit. Then I decreased regularly to the wrist, but not correctly at first or at second try, but by the third try I got it right.
So I am one happy knitter and will encourage future jackets to be made with raglan sleeves, as it really improves the design immensely.
