| Judy P could you get the back smaller but the rest the same at the neck |

| Mary Ann B I have used it and it worked well. |
| Madalina P Yes |

| Judy P and using up all that expensive yarn |
| Glenda E Hello from Australia |
| Madalina P ratio :) |
| Madalina P We can just do a ration to fallow Jodie's patterns, right? |
| Judy P now your talking - that is my biggest dilemma how to get the gauge. |
| Madalina P I'll have to give it try again. I have the book for the v-neck. |
| Mia F I used your mulitplier, works great Sue |
| Joan C Have you thought of using shoulder pads in your raglans? |
| Kay M Hello from Canada |
| Nancy H HI from south carolina |

| Nancy M I ve done a plus size raglan sideways on the bulky ( used knit leader) |
| Pauline P Pauline - thank you. Sorry, I meant decorative raglan seams and cable raglans. |
| Judy P could you show the seam that is on the preview |
| Judy P I am itching to bring it up on your shoulder for better fit and you might try cable on sleeve - give you width |
| Jacqueline O I agree with Margaret I love it too. Did you already say which yarn you used? |
| Marianne P Hi from Tromsoe, Norway. Way up north. |
| Sharon S hi, Sharon from St. Louis |
| Margaret G I love your sweater. It's beautful! |
| Pauline P Pauline - you could wrap one side over the other and put a large button at the top. It will look nice too! |
| Emily S So you added the 4 inches onto the dynamic pattern? |
| LINDA G raglans sleeves in DAK have a different top on the sleeve it is more rounded this one is wonderful |

| Marylynn B Hi from South Carolina |
| Judy P thrilled that you have mastered these. Am getting ready to try yoke in fairlisle |
| Pauline P Pauline - will you be including how to do decorative seams and a cable seam? |
