Now that the Fall 2009 Interweave Knits preview is up, I can post some photos I took of my French Braid Pullover before I sent it off to the magazine. 
(Unfortunately I was a little rushed at the time, and didn't have a chance to get outside for a proper photo shoot, so please ignore the toilet brush and the TP roll in the background!)
This is a raglan pullover, knitted entirely in the round, and I found it a lot of fun to design and knit, from the moment I first fell in love with the giant plaited cable (which I found in a Japanese stitch pattern book) to the calculations for the seamless yoke, to the garter stitch neck edging at the semi-funnel collar. HINT: If I were making this pullover for myself, I would make the longer version-- a couple of inches longer than the pattern sample in the photos-- and I'm not very tall! 
(Look again at the last photo-- yep, this pullover looks kinda cool when worn inside-out!)
