It's been one week since I cast on and I'm still going strong. So far the pattern is simple but not tedious and I'm really enjoying it. I decided to knit the front and sides at the same time because I really hate sewing up knitting and I thought I could minimize the seaming this way. I only made one little mistake when I started the cable pattern (I started on the wrong side by accident) and I had to rip back about 4-5 rows. I thought something looked a little funny then but I've got it fixed now and I'm loving it.
I keep showing it off to all my non-knitting friends and they ooohhhhh and aahhhh. I think I might have hooked one of them and now she wants me to teach her to knit. Ha ha! Another convert... The powers of the CPH have her now.

hi!
Its looking great, just wanted to know if you are using cascade 220 and what needle size to get the gauge
Marisol
I'm using the recommended needle sizes from the pattern and with the size 8 I'm getting 19 stitches to 4 inches in sts. I'm knitting the 44" size and expecting it to measure about 42" because of the difference in gauge.
Oh, and yes, it's cascade 220 (my fav!)
Very pretty color and very nice knitting as well.
thank you for ur response, i am knitting also in cascade and just wanted to check if i was on the right track, we are both getting the same gauge
Awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures. :)
I'm knitting the hoodie in one piece, too. I am having problems figuring out the cabling sequence to use (which chart is first? ). I have a tendency to overthink things and end up confused.
Your hoodie looks terrific!
