I had several pinched nerves, but I am much better now. I hope it lasts!

Good luck! (and what are you doing knitting if you can't sew due to hand stress?...not that its any of my beeswax).

I haven't made one of these in a LONG time, and I'm not following any pattern. 1) When you are knitting an adult bottom-up sweater, how many inches do you typically knit before beginning your raglan decreases? 2) For my raglan decreases, I'm planning to k2tog/ssk on each side of all markers on every other row. Is my thinking correct on this? Are there other numbers that you prefer for making raglan decreases?
