…oh thank the GSD* that’s over.
The New Hottness would like to present…my finished Central Park Hoodie.
I plan on doing ‘afterthought’ buttonholes (a la EZ) when I’ve decided on buttons (don’t worry, I’ll be asking for your opinions after the choices have arrived!)
I chose to kitchener the hood closed instead of seaming (yes, you can see the line – but I also haven’t washed the hood yet. That will disappear after the first soaking). I picked up and knit the button bands after the hood was complete so they are seamless, also.
My favorite part – there is much beauty in a set-in sleeve that has no puckers. ;o)
Wait. I lied. My absolute favorite part? It fits.

WOOOOHOOO! It looks gorgeous. Wear it the next time you see me, I can’t wait to see it. :)
I’m with you, thank GOD it’s done, now you can free up your needles for something new and delicious.
She is fabulous! I love the pin keeping it closed. Yes, I am slightly anti-button hole at this point. So? :p
Well done!
hooray, hooray, hooray!
Brava! It looks lovely! And so much attention to detail :^)
Lookin’ extra hot. I love it. This right here is what knitting magic is all about…it may have been a pain for a while but the end result it SO worth it.
And YAY for Thursday Next! I just started reading The Eyre Affair and I love it.
Fantastic! I love the color – I did the same thing with my hood and button band. And – I still haven’t picked out buttons, either – good thing I have plenty of pins around to keep it closed!
Oh, Jess, that looks just wonderful!
hooray! It looks fab, like it with the pin, but I am sure the buttons will also look wonderful.
Mine has been languishing unloved for a while…hmmm….
Very nice! I can’t wait to see it with buttons…and in person at the very first festival of the season.
Love Thursday Next, too!
Great job Jess! It looks beautiful!
Whoa, it’s gorgeous. That sleeve … perfection. Well done!
Very Nice!! Too bad I can’t make one for myself..I can’t imagine it on my short round self! LOL
Woo-hoo! Are you going to present a picture of you wearing it? I’m glad you finished it, it looks wonderful.
Beautiful! I sort of like the pin action too. Then again I’m to chicken to attempt those EZ button holes. I mean my spastic hands, with scissors and fresh finished knitting – that’s a disaster just waiting to happen. Can I watch?
Now what will you ever do with your time :P
Gorgeous! :)
So pretty! Love the color and the sleeves look wonderful. How much ease did it end up with? I’m asking because I BROKE DOWN and ordered yarn for my own CPH and can’t decide on size.
PUT IT ON! PUT IT ON!
Whoo hoo!
Go you~!
Fabulous!
What a wonderful sweater! It turned out just perfect.
Awesome!!!!
A very professional job and I love the way the yarn drapes just a little.
Now for the modeled shot…
that looks great!
Good job! It looks great!
Sweet. :)
I bow, nay, grovel, before your exquisite finishing skills. You’d best be careful Athena doesn’t get wind of this if you don’t want to end up hanging by a thread from the ceiling.
I love Thursday! I smiled to myself when I saw your reference. Your CPH makes me want to start one too!
Ah, the good old GSD. Must reread those books again soon.
And the sweater? Gorgeous! Nice job. ;)
Pretty!!! Love your choice of yarn.
this is a test … to check your back end code ……ummm…….you said …..code
Hi all this is mee and what she puts up with ALL the time ;-)
