FINALLY!!!

This is my first post here. I've been steadily working on the CPH since the beginning of May. In conjunction with the CPH I was finishing up my training for a full Ironman triathlon. I finished that on June 24th and have been able to focus on my knitting.

I'm doing th CPH with Arauncania Nature Wool in a beautiful turquoise color. It's my first sweater project, my first cable project, and my first project that's needed blocking. I'm there! I'm blocking!
I finished this at about 1:30 last night and woke up at 5:30 this morning too excited to sleep. It still needs time to dry but I'm so so so excited.

The pattern says to only sew the shoulder seams before starting the hood, but it looks like some people have seamed the arms too. Will I run into any trouble if I seam the arms before starting the hood?

Thanks!!!

Nice job, Chelsea. Love the color :-). I would say that the only downside of seaming the sleeves first is the added weight while you do the rest. See you Wednesday night?!

Yes you will! I have to go in to 9R today to get some supplies. But I'll definitely be there Wednesday too :) And I'll wait on the sleeves...I'm just so ready for it to be DONE!

Ooooh! Are you putting buttons on it? What do they look like? I can't wait to see how it looks all seamed up. Great work! :)
