Finished Hoodie

It's another finished Central Park! Hooray.

(Actually it's been finished for about two weeks, but my husband was unavailable for a photo shoot until this weekend.)

I used Queensland Collection Kathmandu Aran in color 141, "Blossom," 85% merino, 10% silk, 5% cashmere. The yarn was admittedly a little pricey, but it was a birthday gift from my mother - and if you can finagle it as a gift, or find a good deal on eBay, or you just want to go ahead and splurge, then I HIGHLY recommend this yarn. Especially after you put a half cup of vinegar in the water when you block.


I love it so much. It was a quick and pretty easy knit, and the finished product is very stylish and versatile. I just wish it wasn't so darn warm so darn early in the year here in North Florida!

(More on this sweater - including more pictures - on my blog, http://yarnchronicles.blogspot.com.)

Very pretty and the fit is perfect.

Very nicely done! I really like that color choice too - and any yarn with a little cashmere in it is a great gift/splurge.
I'm in FL too, but tend to be cold in most places indoors, so I really need to finish mine!
