FO: Central Park Hoodie

The parade of finished projects continues!

Project Details:

Pattern: Central Park Hoodie by Heather Lodinsky

Yarn: Dream in Color Classy, 5 skeins

Needle Size: Size 8 Denise circulars (knit flat)

Pattern Modifications: I carried the cable up the back of the hood, just for fun.  Other than that, I followed the pattern exactly. 

Time to knit: About one month - started and finished in the month of October!

Final impressions: I love this sweater.  I'm still up in the air about whether to put closures on it or just leave it open.  I didn't put buttonholes in, but I might still do toggles if I find some good ones.

Adorable! (I'm still jealous of your speed-knitting!)

That is a beautiful fit. Congratulations on such a pretty sweater. I think you should go for the toggles it would be a nice touch. But it does look lovely as is.

Wow! That looks great! I'd never have guessed that it was hand-knit.

The sweater is beautiful and looks great on you. It's on my list too and I've had the yarn all stashed away for it (Tahki New Tweed) for over a year! I really need to get on it.

It turned out so nice! Love the Cobblestone pullover too. I'm on the first sleeve on Eric's Cobblestone. I hope to get it done in time for Thanksgiving. Take care and keep on knitting:~)
