CPH: Reality or Myth?

The front pieces are blocking as of 5:42 PST.

Five more inches of sleeve action until the cap shaping. Believe me, this is amazing progress. Like seeing a buck naked Elvis drinking a Pabst Blue Ribbon and riding the Loch Ness monster in Lake Erie amazing.

Amazing like Mary's heart-stopping shoulder sewing action witnessed today. She's got shoulders. She's started knitting her hood. She's smokin'.

Or Patty's scrumptious nearly finished lace sweater.

Or Annette's utter serenity as she works on her sweater sleeve, chats with us and misses nary a stitch.

That kind of amazing.

Aw shucks! You are too kind. I couldn't have done it without your help. I wouldn't even have attempted CPH without your inspiration. Yours is getting close; I can feel it!

Elvis...er yeah that's exactly what I was thinking ;)

Sweater curse be gone forever! Your CPH is looking great and it's been fun watching you go through the process. ;) Maybe we should have cocktails when you get to the seaming...er...maybe that's a bad idea...

Ahhh, the image is enchanting. You are soooo poetic!

Congrats on your CPH progress.

I, too, am always amazed when the gauge turns out -- heck, I'm amazed when the pattern says "on the last three stitchs" and I have 3 stitches left! On every row!
Loved your house, your husband, your friends and love YOU. Looking forward to the next.
