Here's the end product!
I started this on September 16, and finished on October 28. That's pretty quick for a sweater for me. I used Louet Riverstone Worsted, six skeins.
Mods: short row shoulders and three needle bindoff to join them, and I continued the cable up the hood. I also ran a line of slip stitch crochet along the back neck to keep the fabric from stretching out (hat tip to the Yarn Harlot for that one!).

I love this sweater!

I love the purple! Awesome! :-)
Thanks! The first picture is more true to color than the second one.
I forgot to mention, I lengthened the hood, too. Didn't want it to be squashy on the hair!
I moved my unfinished CPH aside this week to work on a baby sweater for my niece. Your beautiful purple CPH has inspired me to get busy and finish mine ... especially since I can hear the rain has just started outside.

It's gorgeous and i love that colour! Sorry about those ten rows!
Those 10 rows made me freak out, but it was a good learning experience. I never would have tried grafting something other than stockinette if I hadn't been so desperate.
Its lovely and the colours awsome,I shall be hunting that down for my next one!! A great job,it looks devine on you!!
Yours is the CPH that convinced me to make one of my own! I love your mods and intend to use them all. Would you recommend this pattern if I wanted to knit it in the round and steek it? I would love feedback on this.
That is gorgeous! I love the color!
Thanks, Jane!
evestarr: sorry, I didn't see your comment until now. Did you start a CPH? I've never steeked so I don't know if it's good for this pattern. I think you could steek the body, but then you'd want to steek the armholes, too, and that would mean doing a drop shoulder sleeve instead of the set in sleeve seen here. I don't think a drop shoulder would look as nice as the set in sleeves; it would be bulkier under the arm. Just my two cents; I've never steeked!
