Finished sweater

Central park hoodie sweater process

I almost have the fronts of the cph done.   got about two more inches to knit. Both fronts are knitting on the same knitting needles that way they come out even and are the same length.   I will also cast on and knit both sleeves the same way.   That way both of my arms are the same length and not short and long...lol
I am hoping to get this done before winter is done but if not will work on it during the summer.   It is a good project for summer as it don't cover my lap like an afghan would.

Sweater progress

the sleeves are done and as you can see have one side shoulder sew and the neck ribbing is done so all that is left to do is sewing the seams up and wear it.

this picture is showing how
I hold my knitting together so i can sew the seem...they are the old fashion curl pins.   They work great to hold it together as you sew it together.
pictures coming soon as I get it finished.

Sweater sleaves

Here are the sleaves of the sweater that i am knitting with two different sizes.  I have got about 10 more rows then I will be able to sew the sweater together and do the neck ribbing.  almost got this one done.   I don't know if i will be getting them done this week because i will be starting to teaching Crocheting at the local college here so will need to get the project for the class done today and tomorrow.   So have to put the knitting needles down and pick up a crochet hook.
