As for the underarm gussets, all the other raglan seamless patterns I have seen have you cast on an inch of stitches when you join the body parts together and again when you work the sleeves. In fact, Elizabeth Zimmerman says that was what made the seamless construction work at all. I haven't made an SJ pattern yet but noticed in Fitted Knits that she doesn't do that and I wondered if that meant the pits would be tight. I am seriously thinking of making this sweater (thanks to ravelry, I didn't think the photos in knitty made it all that appealing) but would add a few stitches to give some arm freedom. Beautiful and well fitting.

I couldn't help flip back and forth between Magknits and your blog to see the modifications that you've made. Yours looks superb! P.S. I had just popped over from Granny-along. Oh wow.

And the photos are great! I wound up with a weird big neckline on my first knitted cardigan as well. However the rest of the cardigan does not fit nearly as nicely as yours does. :) I love it!
