i've been a lurker for too long with a CHP on the needles! I've just finished the hood and am in the process of picking up the button band stitches... I found that I was 8 over the 150 I should have picked up but figured that I would just work em' in. I'm hoping that it's common to get some few extra stitches, especially when I am almost positive my row gauge was a skew off...

I'm using the Classic Elite Silke Tweed and so far haven't really made any modifications. I figured I need the practice with seaming. Speaking of, what have people done for the hood? Just the simple grafting from the outside or have people done anything inside out?

i just bought a bunch of that classic elite skye tweed stuff. how much are you using, and what size did you knit? i'm wondering if i have enough to make another cph?
your sweater is looking AWESOME! excellent work!
Wow - that yarn is very pretty and your CPH is looking really great. I made 3 of these and always picked up more stitches for the button band than the pattern called for. It worked fine and I'm sure yours does too!
