This is my first knitalong, and I have enjoyed so much reading everyone's helpful posts and seeing such inspiring successes.Here's my version so far. I'm using Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran, which I have an ample supply of due to another sweater coming out way too big. I'd considered gifting the too-big sweater, but the yarn was pretty pricey for me, so I decided to frog and knit up something I'd love. I have been nervous about going the opposite direction with CPH--too small--especially after reading some posts, but I am going to just keep plugging along and see what happens. . . .
You'll notice the cables go the wrong way. I realized I was reading the chart left to right instead of right to left about halfway up the back, and after slapping myself in the forehead, I realized it looked fine, so I just went with it. I will make the sleeves match.
I decided to try short rows for the shoulders, inspired by a post here. I think I did them right. I am curious as to how the cable will work out when I join the front and back at the shoulder. Anybody have any trouble, advice?

Yor hoodie looks great. I have been daydreaming about a red CPH and if I knit a second one it will be red.
I haven't executed a 3 needle bind off before but I was just wondering if I should go up a needle size since my bind-offs tend to be pretty tignt and draw in some.
looks great- as long as the cables are consistent- no one will have a clue!
I cast on CPH #2 this afternoon- ;)
Love the cashmerino soft- will be FAB!
