If you can knit on the round I think you would be fine with a sweater. I've only ever knit a sweater with help. And I mostly just did the straight parts

I found this sweater pattern last night and it seems to give good instructions on how to knit a basic raglan that fits. http://www.knitting-and.com/wiki/Fro...e_Basic_Raglan

I think I'm going to start with a few pairs of socks and then try to do a sweater by myself.

Let me know if you start anything!
