Peacefleece Tunic OTN

The story of getting as far as this cuff is too long to share here. Please visit my blog with a cup of tea for all the sordid details...

but here is a Zimmermaniacal tunic, otn in lovely Peacefleece. Bigger gauge than I generally like -- size 10 needles -- so it'll be a chunky monkey, and will go quickly. Here's what I'm wondering. I kind of imagine eating up the shoulder stitches with raglan at the top until it's time to do the final inch or two of patterning yolk. Good idea? Bad idea? Anybody tried this? Want to have a fairly open stand-up collar at the top, will add hems in one of the colors to the neck, cuffs, and bottom of the sweater. Please offer any and all advice/crit. It's not too late to change course...
