A Friend's CPH

Hello, all!

Cristi, aka Turtlegirl76, is a member of the Ravelry version of the CPH KAL but not this version. She just finished an amazing CPH and has kindly given me permission to share it with you. So head on over to Cristi's blog and take a look at her FO. Can you believe she did it in SIXTEEN DAYS?

Kind of motivates one to knit, doesn't it? :-)

Sleeve increases

Oh dear, I think I increased on the sleeves incorrectly - every 6th row instead of every 8th for the first few. Well, anyway, I have finished the front pieces and back. I have used the Tahki Donegal Tweed in a teal with orange and other color fleks. Here they are ->

Stupid Gauge Question

OK, this is probably a very stupid question coming from the Administrator of this KAL, but... I seem to have misplaced my copy of Knitscene with the pattern in it. I already re-wrote and charted it in the round so I have the "pattern" but what I don't have is the gauge. I just knit a swatch and washed, blocked and measured it—about time, eh?—and have my gauge established, but I don't know what the target gauge is.

Can anyone tell me what the pattern's gauge recommendation is and also the biggest size and how many to cast on?

Thanks...

About to begin

I already have yarn to start my CPH and I'm looking forward to it. This will be my first project in a while that I will knit for myself. Yay!
BTW, I am using ONline Cora and have no idea which size to make yet. Gotta swatch first.

I'm Back and improved!

The last time I was here I had posted about the problems I was haveing with my hoodie and not having enough yarn to knit it. The sales rep for that sold Tahki yarn to my local yarn store even searched high and low for more of my colorway but no luck. So I finally decided that I would use that yarn for a short sleeve sweater in the future and buy totally new yarn to knit the CPH. I decided to use the same type of yarn (Tahki New Tweed) The color is gorgeous brown with pink, cream, maroon, black flecks in it. So here is the start of a swatch I did today because of course I forgot what size needle I was using (I have since started the sweater):

I am so excited to get back to knitting this sweater. Yay me!!!

Greensleeves... Cast on

The ribbing on my sleeves is done! Now I just need to finish those, do some seaming, and knit a comfy hood!! So excited about this sweater. More details on my blog.

Hi I am New to the Knit along...but lurking for a little bit.

Hi all,

I joined the knitalong about a month ago? But I am only now posting. I just finished the back and I am currently knitting the left front. This sweater is just knitting up so easy. I love seeing every ones progress and finished sweaters. I hope to see more of them in the future. Here is my progress.

And the Knit Goes On

I'm working on my CPH, but unfortunately only a few rows every day, I really need to pick up the pace on this.

As you see in the photo, I"m knitting the back and both sleeves on a 32" circular, just to be sure that I don't lose interest along the way and have whole pieces left behind to wither away in my knitting bag. I intend to do the same with the L/R fronts. I'm enjoying the progress reports so far, and congrats to Marywary on a beautiful finish! I notice comments here and elsewhere about modifications, and that's already giving me the heebie jeebies. This will be my first full size garment for myself, and I'm just hoping that the pattern fits well as written. If anything, I may extend the back and fronts, but only if I can be sure that there isn't some complex calculation that I might miss and throw the whole thing off.

Happy knitting all!

Hi

I just joined the CPH Knit Along - I broke down and bought the yarn over the weekend as a b-day gift to myself. I've got Debbie Bliss Donegal Tweed in a grey blue (pictures to come later). Fortunately, I work at a yarn store part-time, so I got a little discount. On the other hand, working at a yarn shop DOES NOT SAVE YOU MONEY.

I've started on the back and have shortened the length (in the ribbing) by 1/2 an inch. I've got plans to knit the 14" sleeves, despite the fact that I'm making the 36. So I decreased as if I were knitting the 14" sleeves and am praying that it doesn't make it to narrow. I also have a grandiose idea of adding little slant pockets to the front.
