Gigi's Central Park Hoodie

Orange. Gracie's favorite color. I found some Cascade 220 Heathers in a beautiful orange last week. When I showed it to her, she flipped and exclaimed, "For sweater?!" I was planning to make a pair of felted boots, but a sweater would definitely be much better. After looking through all the magazines and books, we decided to buy the Central Park Hoodie pattern from Knitscene.

I cast on the back Saturday evening and proceeded to knitting. By bedtime I had completed the ribbing and 50 rows up.

On Sunday after church, while I was watching the Jets and Titans play football with my honey, I reached the armhole.


Searching around for other who have knit the CPH on Ravelry.com, I found others who had modified the pattern by using the Short Row method for the armholes, sleeves and shoulders. I did lots of research on the web and in my back issues of Interweave Knits and found some great help. After many attempts and frogging, I finally understood what I was doing and I was off doing knitting short row armholes and shoulders.
