All Over but the Buttons…

Friday, March 21st, 2008

…oh thank the GSD* that’s over.

The New Hottness would like to present…my finished Central Park Hoodie.

FO: Central Park Hoodie (Front)

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!)

FO: Central Park Hoodie (Back)

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.

FO: Central Park Hoodie (Sleeve)

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.

Promise…

Friday, March 14th, 2008

…I love how my garden is so full of promise this time of year.

Hyacinths

Snowdrops

I’m so happy that I finally have snowdrops - I was starting to feel left out when other bloggers who live in Massachusetts were posting Spring flowers and I had nothing to show! Yay for Spring!

Okay so maybe it wasn’t ‘tomorrow’…

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

…but at least it’s this week! I’ve made some progress on the CPH, so far I have both fronts and the back done (as well as both sleeves to the sleeve caps done), the shoulders sewed together and 8″ of hood completed. Want pictures? Here you go:

CPH Progress 03-10-08

CPH Hood Progress 03-10-08

I seriously cannot wait to be done with this. In other news, there was a minor miracle on Monday. Beanie and Jazz have refused to be anywhere near each other (unless there was food involved). On Monday, they decided to share a chair. RR and I were speechless - and thankfully it lasted long enough for me to get a shot:

A minor miracle...

…in the interest of full disclosure, I should probably tell you that they are laying on a heated throw. ;o)
