Global Warming Sweater

This is my first full sweater. The pattern is called "Global Warming." I knitted it in Cascade 220 Superwash in "Summer Sky Heather" which is a nice robin's egg blue (my favorite color.) I CO last Tuesday and finished late last night. In order to complete this in a week, I knitted a lot but I wouldn't say excessively. Or maybe I did. I don't know that I can accurately judge myself on this so I'll leave it alone for the moment.

Anyway, I love this sweater. It was my first attempt at raglan construction and it was shockingly easy... Not sure what I was expecting. It is much cuter on a body than a hanger. It is somewhat cropped (sits just at the hip) and is slightly fitted. I made the torso bigger than the pattern just for a little extra room, added about 15 extra rows for a little more length and I think it turn out pretty dang perfect. The puff sleeves are adorable! Now if the temp would just drop about 40 degrees so I can wear it!
