Raglan on 1 needle--it is possible

Thanks to the Knitters Review Forum, I do think I can make this cardi on 1 needle from armholes on. Will post complete instructions, as well as progress report. Back is done to armhole, started left front-- done halfway to armhole. Had to buy Fee's Sweater Workshop Book and Zimmermann's Knitting Workshop for help here, but at least all armhole dec will be the same (I hope). Also will be setting in zpper by hand (no machine to do it). Stay tuned.

I know you're already further along than this, but since you're already working on revisions, maybe you would have a better idea than I would of whether it would work...

Would it work out well to do the back and fronts up to the armholes as one unit, and each of the sleeves in the round? In addition to the modification you're doing, that could eliminate almost all the seaming involved in this sweater.

So... would doing it that way somehow cause problems with drape or stability in the finished piece, or would it just eliminate steps?
