Cast on for Something Red (Orange)

A few days ago I cast on for my next project- Something Red by Wendy Bernard. I am using the yarn recommended, Blue Sky Alpcas Organic Cotton, but in orange (actually "pumpkin") rather than red. I really enjoyed the process of making Baby M's striped sweater with a fun top-down raglan pattern, and this short sleeve women's cardigan with the same kind of construction really appealed to me. The raglan increases are done using yarn overs which creates a really cool sort of lacy effect. Although I haven't knit much with cotton, so far its going well and I love the color. I hope this project will go quickly so I can wear it this spring!
