This Lady Knits

 I know it’s been a while since I posted an FO.

Well I finally got around to putting DH’s sweater together, and more importantly, I got a pic of him wearing it today to.

Pattern:  Reynolds Portuguese Fisherman

Yarn:  Cascade 220, off white, 7 skeins

Needles: Options #6 and #8

This in theory a repeat pattern, but when I did it the first time for Daddy, I stacked the cables instead of making them a checker.  I also knit the body on this one in one piece, splitting out for the sleeves and knit the sleeves in the round. I think that’s all I changed on it.

Sorry Madge, Marie and Mary, CPH is done and I get to keep my handspun.

Pattern: Central Park Hoodie by Heather Lodinsky found in the Fall 2006 issue of Knitscene

Yarn: Tahki Donegal Tweedolor is 845 ( 183 yds, 3.5 oz) 8 skeins

Needles:  Options #6 and #8

I knit this one up a little shorter in the body as usual.  I did knit the sleeves to the length specified in the pattern, but I left thumb holes, to free my thumbs while keeping my hands warm.  Despite the challenges this knit presented, I really did enjoy it.  If I ever knit it again, I will remember to change out the needles between the ribbing and the body, and pay more attention to the cables.
