#WIPWednesday: Sloane's Raven-on-Fawn Kuffel
Just after Chart B...
After doing zero selfish knitting for...years, I seem to have caught the bug! I started my Kuffel while I was blocking the body of my Cozy Classic Raglan a few weeks ago, and I'm now finished with the second colorwork section and cruising through the final sets of short rows and increases. I'll own a little bit of "widest point of the yoke" fatigue over the last day or so, but I'm so excited to actually *wear* this one that I'm still getting through it pretty quickly.
I have been in love with this sweater since the second I opened Alexis' email with the design proposal, and it's been a blast to make one of my own. I've flipped the color scheme from Alexis's original sample here, using Raven as the CC and Fawn as the MC. While I loved the light-on-dark approach in the original, I tend to wear a lot of black or dark denim, and I like a little more contrast between my top and bottom halves, so I wanted a lighter background color (and let's be honest: I've wanted a Forge-in-Fawn sweater of my very own since the first skeins came out of the Mill and promptly sold out before we could even get them on shelves). One of the things I love most about this motif is how clearly it reads regardless of whether you've chosen a lighter or darker MC, and I'm really thrilled with how it's come out in this dark-on-light variation.
My able assistant and I trying on the sample.
I had a chance to try on the sample (which is knit in Size 2, the 48" bust) before the shoot this winter (my 5-year old son made a great wardrobe assistant, rocking his Christmas PJs and commenting on neckline positioning). That size has about 11" of positive ease on me at the bust and at the high hip, which makes for a sweater that drapes to a noticeable swing about my hips and midsection, but isn't super exaggerated. The neckline and sleeves generally fit pretty well, so I knew I wasn't likely to need major modifications there to make the sweater work. I did, however, have one modification I knew I wanted to make, and fortunately, it didn't take a great deal of math to execute.
I tend to favor a fit that's a little closer through the yoke and armholes and then a little less fitted through the body. This is a little bit about my personal figure-flattery goals, but it's really as much about functional reasons as aesthetic ones. While I do have days that I spend mostly at my desk in my office, there's generally a lot of moving around and picking stuff up in my life (boxes, children, yarn, horse stuff, etc., etc., etc.), and I find that the super-low-armholed, swoncho-y sweaters, as popular as they are these days, just don't work as well for the actual life in which I wear my sweaters, and I'm constantly fidgeting with them.
So, is there a cure for my low-armhole phobia? Fortunately, yes, and Alexis has brilliantly and conveniently provided one right here in the pattern: I'm just going to separate for the sleeves before working the third colorwork section, rather than in the middle of it. That will shorten the yoke by a few inches, giving me an armhole that still has plenty of ease for an underlayer and to give me a bit of that swingy-oversized vibe, but anchors on my body a little better for the pressures of everyday wear. I sanity-checked this approach by comparing the number of rows I'll have worked on the front side of my in-progress yoke (because I've been working short rows throughout, so the front is shorter than the back) at my blocked row gauge with the yoke depth of my favorite circular yokes (hand knit and ready to wear), just to make sure I wasn't wildly off. And, as I do with all of my top-down sweaters, I'll put it on waste yarn and wet block it after I've got the sleeves separated later this week, to make sure everything's fitting how I'd like it before I commit to the plan for the body and sleeves.

Not long ago, I invested $80,300 into an online certification I believed would boost my professional growth. Everything looked convincing — the platform was well-designed, the representatives were persuasive, and the promises of career support sounded genuine. But soon after I enrolled, the truth became clear. The lessons were shallow, the support team vanished, and the certification turned out to be worthless. I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam. I refused to accept the loss and started looking for help. That’s when I discovered Digital Tech Guard Recovery. From the very first call, they gave me confidence. Their communication was clear, their process was transparent, and they showed genuine concern about my case. They gathered the necessary details, traced the fraudulent platform, and managed the refund process professionally. A few weeks later, I received my full refund. As someone living in Dallas, I can say their service exceeded every expectation. Digital Tech Guard Recovery turned what felt like a hopeless situation into a story of relief and justice.

Earlier this year, I fell victim to a fake crypto investment scheme. It looked legit—slick website, real-time dashboards, even customer support. Promised huge returns. I invested heavily. At first, I saw “profits” grow, but when I tried to withdraw, everything vanished—website down, contacts gone. My crypto wallet had been drained. I felt devastated, thinking it was all lost. After researching recovery options, I found Digital Tech Guard Recovery. I was skeptical but desperate. They walked me through the process, analyzing blockchain transactions and tracing my stolen funds. Within weeks, they identified the wallets involved and worked with cybercrime authorities. To my amazement, a large portion of my crypto was recovered. Digital Tech Guard was professional, transparent, and persistent. Thanks to them, I got a second chance—and a big lesson in online security.
