Because I have my Central Park Hoodie all done!  It’s been blocking since Sunday night, so of course, I am anxious to actually wear it.  And to make sure I don’t need to rip anything out and redo.  See, look at the hood.

What do you think?  That seam is a tad off, I think, but I don’t know if it’ll be worth taking it out and redoing if nobody else notices.  I did go to great lengths to make sure that the cables match up perfectly at the seam.

I have been working  on this far too long, so it’s great to see it finally done.  I am SO ready to move on.  To the next sweater, the next whatever.  I had a knitting funk in the  summer where I was making gifts and that was cool, but all my big projects ended up getting ripped out because they didn’t look right or because they weren’t coming together properly, etc.  You know the drill.  So, it’s nice to see this one done.  I do think I may rip out the cuff seam a tad and give myself thumb holes.  But we’ll see.  I need a project that doesn’t take nearly a week to do all the finishing work for next time!  It’s so weird to have a stack of all the sweater parts and feel like you’re mostly done only to realize you’re going to be sewing for a few days in order to get it all right.

Hopefully this will wear well and I can get rid of my hooded sweatshirt.  And hopefully it will look ok on me.  It looked  ok before the blocking process, so usually, blocking makes it that much better.
