As promised, here's a little photo update of my Central Park Hoodie. It is so enjoyable to work with Lamb's Pride Worsted again. I love how soft it is and the stitch definition. Click all photos to embiggen!
I had to rip out the top of one of the sleeves because I missed a decrease somewhere, but thanks to my handy dandy check off chart (I can't knit without making them!) I was able to figure out exactly where the error was. If you don't use them when you knit, I highly recommend starting. Otherwise I would have found myself ripping out the whole sleeve and starting over.
I also have a bit of a boo-boo on the other sleeve. I noticed after I finished it that the set of cables right on the shoulder were done in the wrong direction. Upon consulting with my Tuesday night knitters, we all agreed that even though it wasn't that visible, I would notice it every time I put it on. So I will be ripping out the shoulder and reknitting it. Luckily it isn't too far down the sleeve.
And of course, things are going swimmingly with the back portion. I'm thinking I will knit the two fronts at the same time on a circular needle, but if it becomes too much (since I haven't done that before, it might just. We confuse rather easily sometimes over here at casa del Morrighana) I'll just knit one at a time.
More to come!
All good things,
Morrighana
I highly recommend doing the fronts together on a circular needle.... I am doing exactly that right now with my current sweater project..(Cardigan in Sirdar Click DK 8956)
You've done the back and sleeves,and done them beautifully (!!) so you have the pattern sort of in your head by now I suspect.....?
Go for it !
I keep charts too.... and you can do the lifeline thing if you want....
Go Girl !!!

That looks great, and the bear in the previous post is lovely.
