After much procrastination in getting to the actual finish line, I managed to sew the Central Park Hoodie together, weave in the ends, buy buttons and sew them on. The sweater had been sitting in my "almost finished" pile, because it was a bit too small for me. (I forget that I'm now a chubby person. LOL!) So, my daughter came along and said she liked it which gave me the encouragement to finish.
I made this out of Debbie Bliss "Stella", 60% Silk, 20% Rayon, 20% Cotton. I knit it on size 9 needles, 1 size up from what the pattern and yarn directions called for, because I am a very tight knitter. If I went up another size, maybe it would have fit me! I did do a swatch, but maybe I counted incorrectly.
