In The Hood ~
(or am I on The Hood? I get confused... please bear with me....) 

So, the vacation is still the topic of this week.... and my project of the weekend was my Central Park Hoodie. I hoped to finish it, however these projects always have a way of taking longer than planned. Here is how it looked when we arrived, I knit the left front, center and right front as one piece:
Here are the blocked sleeves (they were knit last July, but never blocked)
Progress to date: The front left was finished and the shoulder seams blocked and sewn, and then I started knitting The Hood!!!! I am several inches into The Hood ~ the yarn is the wonderful Decadence Alpaca and the sweater looks so great!

Another start ~
I am using alpaca, so I have to find some black alpaca worsted weight so this hat will match her black and purple coat. Hmmmm, back to the yarn shop......
