Fab FO Friday!!!!! (Finally)

Okay...okay. You can give me forty lashes with a wet noodle! Finally the CPH pictures. Sorry it took sooooooooo...ooooooo long!
From a bag of yarn...
...to a fabulous finished CPH!!!!

Here's the back detail.

And the sleeve.

Pattern: Central Park Hoodie from KnitScene Fall '06. This KAL is a good source of info. And the info on Raverly is great, too!

Yarn: Cascade 220, about four and a little bit of a fifth. Color is Lemon.

Needles: #6 and #9

Modifications: I made the bottom ribbing longer, about 5 inches, and made the sleeve ribbing about 2-2 1/2 inches. I might have to go back and re-do the front bands as I didn't pick up the 150 sts and it sort of shows, but right now I'm enjoying it as is.

I have worn it a couple of times for the late evening baseball games. It's been cool here once the sun goes down.

So pretty! Glad that you have a chance to wear it in the evenings--it would be a shame to put it away until the fall!
