Someone asked about knitting the front and sides at the same time so I'll share with you all how I'm doing it. It might be right, it might be wrong, and any pointers you have would be appreciated.
To knit the sides and and back together I added up all the number of stitches that would have been cast on for the right front, left front and back. I then subtracted two stitches for each seam that would have been sewn (4 stitches) and cast on that remaining number. When working the cable patterns and the ribbing I had to start by reading the instructions and cable charts for the right front, then the back piece, then the left front. This means my fabric is knitted in this sequence from right to left: cable chart C, cable chart C, cable chart A, cable chart B, cable chart C, cable chart A, cable chart A. I hope this helps the anonymous poster who was having trouble with the cables. Happy Knitting!

I'm also knitting the front and sides at the same time, and so far I'm really enjoying it. I think I've knit at least 8 inches since Friday, so I agree with you that the project really does fly by!
I really appreciate the information. I am thinking of working on a second CPH and want to do it all at once, because I want to use a variegated yarn, and see how the color pools. Can you give us some more insight on how you did the armholes, and how you plan to do the shoulder seams? I would love to follow your instructions. Also, they are very clear and concise. Thanks a lot!!!
Thank you for your insight on which charts to knit first. I had it figured correctly,but wanted to make sure. I started with my sleeves knitted in the round, and hope they fit once the body is completed. I can't wait to see your hoodie next week!
