Ring Wraith Spotted in Manhattan!

Pattern: Central Park Hoodie, Knit Scene Fall'06. I made the 36" after hearing that the sweater runs a little snug.
Yarn: Lambs Pride Worsted, 6 balls of "Wild Plum" which I would rename "Sharpie Black", not quite black-not quite dark purple but somewhere in between.

Modifications: I totally didn't read the pattern decided to carry the centre panel of cables up the hood instead of knitting a plain stockinette back. It's not noticeable when the hood is down and required a bit of decrease fudging. I don't think it makes the hood any pointier than any of the other completed CPHs I've seen, but that hood, it's damned pointy!

Concluding remarks: When taking self-timed photos I tend to end up with a lot of pictures of my arse. I'm happy to say it appears smaller in photos than in my imagination. Hurrah for shrinking buttocks!

Oh and the cardigan..... I LOVE IT!! I totally want to make about a million and a half of these! Although thinking about it, I may limit myself to maybe one more some time in the future when the six hours of seaming it took to get this pretty sewn up seems like less of a chore! The yarn, with it's 15% mohair content is a little scratchy but it did behave very nicely in the bath, no splashing, not much unnecessary bleeding and it did not once throw it's rubber ducky. I particularly like the construction of the sleeve caps in this cardigan, long and thin which allows for a much tighter arm hole. Although the CPH body came out a little bigger than I would normally wear, all winter I was craving a dark, big cardigan to throw on over just about anything and this fits the bill perfectly. And just in time for Spring!
