So, I'm not the fastest knitter. And I'm inconsistent - I'll work for a few hours a few day in a row, get to a step that makes me nervous, and put it away for a month. And that explains why this Central Park Hoodie took me a year to finish.
But it's done. It's far from perfect - if I were doing it over, I would do it in the next size down. But as a "jacket" sweater to go over a couple of layers, I think it's going to work pretty well. It's the first sweater I've ever knitted for myself (well, there was another, but again, size was an issue...), and I loved working with this yarn (Dream In Color Classy).
Ta Da!
I'm now nearly done with my next project - should wrap up tonight or tomorrow. I hope to be back to share it soon! And then it's on to figure out a couple of little gifts for some very important baby boys on the way...
Holy cow, that is perfectly amazing. YOU ARE AMAZING! I love the sweater, I love the hair cut and I love that girl!! xoxo

ReplyDeleteMegan, that sweater is A-Mazing! The detail, the color, the hood! I love all of it. But that last picture of you? So beautiful, my dear. Va Va VOOM!
ReplyDeleteMegan, that is AWESOME!!!!! I am so impressed. I've never attempted an adult sweater, let alone one with cables AND a hood. You rock. And you look AMAZING. What Stef said. I want one of those sweaters. Can you make me one. It only took you a year? Great color, great yarn, great buttons. I bow to you.
ReplyDeleteOMG Megan, it's lovely!! the cables, the buttons... too beautiful! As are you! Did Dan take those pictures of you? (They are too beautiful for self-timered auto-focus shots). I am glad you got to finish it, even if a little at a time - you stuck with it! Yay!
