Back me up.

You guys are the best. Because of your suggestions, Ms. Marigold is officially an FO. So thank you, thank you for all your help.

I finished the back of my Central Park Hoodie last night.

So far I am loving the peace fleece. I made the back of the hoodie a little longer than the pattern suggested. And instead of "binding off 6 stitches at the beginning of each row" as the pattern said for the shoulders, I decided to do some short-row shaping--I am keeping these shoulder stitches live so I can do a three-needle bind off for the shoulder seams.

Check out this cable-ly goodness...

Do you see all the little fun flecks. They are delicious, no?

I am so pleased, I might just go cast on for the fronts right now...

Yum. I just bought Knitscene specifically for that pattern. Oh, crap--I'm pattern-stalking you again! Don't worry, I'll use different yarn :)

Those gauntlets are great where did you get the pattern? The colors of that hoodie are great.

Smart move on the shoulders. I have a trick for the 3 needle bind off. When you're ready bring a double pointed needle with you to SnB and I'll show how cool it is.

So yummy! I would eat up that sweater. Loving the green flecks. Those cables look like so much fun! Can't wait to see Ms. Marigold in person. I must do that soon!

It's all about the flecks!! Quite a lot of the CPH-ers are knittting with flecky wool!! Yours is so lovely, all the colours in the close up, and green too!!!
