Lately though I've been wearing this almost every day! I love it. Here are the specifics:
Size: 52" -- I made my own modifications based on other sizes, although it's great to see larger sizes available through Knitting Daily! There's a thread for my mods on Ravelry.
Yarn: Classic Elite Skye Tweed -- I want to say the color is "Grampian Purple"
Modifications: Besides size, I also did a zipper (obviously), short row shoulders (thanks to this KAL!), and made sure the sleeves were ample enough :)
I do wish I had made it a smidgen longer, but I hope it'll get longer when my baby bump gets smaller :)
Thanks for all the great advice and inspiration on this KAL!

Hi,I think you look really cute in your CPH and I like the color. But I wanted to ask about how much yarn you used. I ask because I'm a size 52 also and the pattern calls for 16 skeins of 187 yard yarn. That's almost 3,000 yards which seems like a lot. So I was wondering which yarn you used and how much and if it's the hood that uses the extra 1,000 yards...In other words, I'm used to using less than 2,000 for a sweater.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
