If you haven’t yet joined the CPH craze, come along with me and become obsessed!! This pattern has been knitted by over 1400 knitters on ravelry and has inspired a variety of variations. I am officially declaring a DC metro area knitalong.
How do you participate?
Comment on this post and let me know that you are going to participate. Include a link to your blog, if you have one.
Select your yarn for the project and swatch before July 18th. The Knitalong begins officially on the 19th, pending my ability to find wireless internet access in Montana…might have a guest blogger.
What are we doing?
Knitting the Central Park Hoodie together, to encourage each other, track our progress, share our modifications to the pattern, rant about struggles and generally have a good time.
I will provide the pattern errors on the blog, post about common issues with the pattern and post modification ideas. As I knit, I will post photos of my project and some tutorials on how to cable, seam, etc. to help you along the way.
What you will need?
Download the pattern here.
Buy your yarn and needles:
US 8
US 6
1098 – 3660 yards worsted weight yarn
It is free to participate!

[...] And now…the time has come to tell the tale of the Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran I purchased in 2005 and am now making into my Central Park Hoodie (rav lnk) during our knitalong. [...]

Damnit. I’m in. Even though I don’t need to be… I’ve got a huge pile of Black Water Abbey that will work perfectly!

Already had this pattern downloaded – now I have more incentive to do it and I can use stuff in my stash. Count me in!

I’m soooooo in. A year ago I purchase enough Rowan to make this puppy and promptly left it in the stash drawer. I just need to find the yarn and do my swatch before the 19th not.

I’m in. I shouldn’t start anything new, but how many times have knitters said that?

What the heck…I’ve knit kid’s sweaters, but never one for myself. I’m in!

I’d like to join, but I’ve already started my CPH. It’s been neglected in UFO status for a long time, this knitalong might be just the incentive I need to finish. can I join in?

As for meeting, this will mostly be done online, with the exception of a few late nights at Knit Happens. I might organize a get together in Alexandria in September. Right now I am headed to Montana for a week and won’t be able to organize anything until after I am back, but we will be knitting along “virtually” until then.

Ok, I’ll give it a whirl! I have a goal to knit a sweater this year…might as well make it a good one! Thanks for setting this up Danielle!

I’m in … I’ve thought it was cute for ages now but haven’t managed to do anything about it … this weekend I’ll round up some yarn and get some WIPs off the needles …

Danielle inspired me at the bootie class so I’m in! I’ve never done a KAL or a hoodie sweater. I’m excited!

I’m in. I’ve thought about doing this one for awhile also and even have something in the stash that just may work. I get back late on the 18th, so I will probably just barely get started on the 19th.

I’m in, too. The pattern looks way harder than anything I’ve tried so far, but I’m looking forward to the challenge (and the help)!

Ok, this is too cute a project to pass up! And with some group support, I might just be able to do it.

I’m in. I’ve been wanting to do the CPH for sometime and I think this has finally inspired me. Now to figure out which yarn to use…

I’m in. I’ve never tried cables before but this sweater is too cute.

I am looking forward to the camaraderie and maybe, just maybe, with the support I will finish this one …
