Raglan this!

I finished the raglan sweater! Yay, my first ever sweater... Here it is:

I solved the neckhole problem by keeping the right side raglan partially open and crocheting two ties. The resulting collar works out perfectly. Thanks to the boyfriend, who suggested the tie idea instead of plain old buttons. No time for pictures, I have a bad deadline I gotta make today.

I learned not to tighten the mattress stitch too much. But I learned this *after* finishing the sweater! Doh! If you look closely, the sleeves pucker at the seams. It's still wearable, though. On to the next project!
