What else is there to say? It was my first. I committed to making it over Christmas, and I guess I did the whole thing in less than two weeks, which would almost qualify it for the
Knitting Olympics, (if you consider the holidays a world-class sport). It's done in
Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, so the whole thing cost me less than $30. It's super cozy, a little too big, but warm enough to fend off any chilly day. I wore it to go see Munich, and I felt very cozy. I found the pattern, "Reconfigured Raglan," in
Interweave's subscriber archives.
And I worked through setting the timer on my digital camera to get this one. I carefully cropped it, as I have a "no showing of my face on the Internet" policy. I should have a "no showing of my knees in shorts in February" policy, too, but then you'd miss the sleeves. (This one's for you, Mom & Dad!) :)

Yes, Kim, it's me!
Hello,
I was trying to find out if anyone had made the Reconfigured Raglan from a knitpicks yarn and found your site. Your sweater is lovely! I'm wondering if you could tell me a few stats, like if you doubled the yarn, what size needle you used, etc. (if you remember!). Thanks much. jirud2003@yahoo.com
Hi, Jill,
Yes, I worked the yarn double; it's a large needle, so you'll definitely want to.
I can't remember, but I think I used size 15 needles. It went very quickly; a great first sweater project for me!
My only complaint: even the small size was a little bit for me. It's roomy, that's for sure!
Thanks so much for the info, Jen!
I'm excited to get started on one of my own.
Jill
