It's taken me a while, and it kinda makes me look like a linebacker, but my CPH is off the needles! You can read more about it here, but here are the main specs:Yarn: Black Water Abbey 2-ply worsted weight in Pippin - 7 skeins
Needles: US 7 and 8 Addi 24" circs
Size: 48"
Mods: Knit the band as one piece, omitted buttons
Cast on: March 2007 Finished: August 2007
Except for my yarn choice, this project was a great knit. Unfortunately, the BWA two-ply is very tightly spun, and very rustic, and the two things combined 1) really hurt my hands and 2) made my cable tension wonky, resulting in unseemly looseness. (I tried wrapping stitches and Ktbls to tighten things up, to no avail.) But I love the pattern, and if I ever made another one would use a more forgiving yarn.
Thanks for hosting this great KAL. Through it I've made new friends and learned some new knitting tricks, too. Happy knitting, everyone!

Great job and great color! Sorry the yarn wasn't what you'd like it to be!
I think it looks faboo! Definitely a great color, and it's too bad the yarn was so mean to your poor hands! But that yarn burn may heal eventually... at least you're done. I'm stuck on Mount Hood!
Your CPH looks like it will be so awesome this fall & winter. Congrats on finishing despite the Great Sweater Curse! :)
Nice color and bummer on the yarn! Enjoy it! :)
