I saw some requests for a finishing party for the Central Park Hoodie. I wonder if we could just commission someone to finish all of them for us:) I hate finishing! Well…I hate it but I can teach it. Shall we use September’s Third Thursday event for finishing? Can you all be done by then? Bring your central park hoodie or any other project that you need to finish and we will put the pieces together. Your pieces should be:

-blocked (and dry)

-leave the tails hanging out, as we might use them for seaming*

*by the way, when you cast on for the sleeves of the CPH, be sure to leave a tail that is at least as long as the sleeve will be, so that you can use it to seam up the sleeve…just a little trick that eliminates lots of extra tails

Bring:

-darning needle

-extra yarn for seaming

-all of the pieces, of course

- your pattern

-some sort of cutting instrument, teeth work as well

-tape measure, preferably one that is cute and will be a conversation starter

Anyways, let me know if you can be finished by that date or will have something to bring that will need some finishing. I know if you look hard enough, there is probably a really ugly acrylic sweater in your closet that you never finished…

So, in semi-short:
