I'm using this pattern
http://peonyknits.blogspot.com/2005/11/anthropologie-inspired-capelet-fo-and.html
and I used really big straight needles (stupidly). Being a top down raglan, though I'm seriously running out of room on my knitting needles. I could buy huge circulars, but I'd really rather not. I also don't know if circulars come in this size.... I was wondering if I could knit the back and sleeves seperately while keeping the rest on waste yarn until I'm done the shoulder and back increases. Any ideas??? I really appreciate any help!!

you can try two circulars that are the same size, you can try working the back and sleeves separatly, but make sure that you cast on one extra stitch for seaming.

Well, you could, but it wouldn't look the same and you'd have to seam the pieces, unless, of course, you know how to do modular knitting and how to work the yarn like intarsia in the round. Break down and buy yourself a 24 inch circular, they aren't all that expensive. Try a thrift shop if you have to.

You could use two circular needles of the same size, similar to using DPN. I don't think knitting the sections separately would work because of the increases.

check out Knitty Gritty on the DIY community. They did some varieties with raglan sleeves. i think of they have been achieved all in a single piece yet confirmed some exciting innovations for determining to purchase a appropriate in good shape on your physique form. The varieties are on their internet website.
