I finished this sweater back in April, but have been lazy about posting it. It is called the Oatmeal Pullover and is designed by Jane Richmond. She is a young, hip knitter/designer with lots of fun patterns. I have many of them in my Ravelry favorites!
This sweater was fun to knit, but I did have some issues with the sleeves. They don't quite fit 100% right at the shoulder, and then I didn't quite knit them as long as I wanted. I also didn't knit the body long enough either. Normally I have issues with garments being too long in the torso and then they create a big bulge over my jeans/belts/etc. Ugh...I hate that! So I decided to knit this to the right length for me, but it ended up too short! However, for my first adult sweater, I guess it didn't come out too bad. At least I love the color. I would definitely try this one again, but with a different yarn. I wasn't a fan of the way the Lion Brand Chunky came out in this pattern.
Here are some pics:

And here is another blogger/knitting superstar, SouleMama, who also made the Oatmeal. I LOVE her version--I find myself coveting the color and the yarn.
