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 ->

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!!!

And the Knit Goes On

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!
