stay on target
The CPH is starting to look suspiciously like a sweater. It's all blocked, the shoulders are seamed (badly), and the hood is nearly finished. Alas, the hood is going to need to be blocked and dried before I can get anything else done.
I didn't have high hopes for this cheapass Knitpicks Wool of the Andes when I started. I mean, it's pretty much Cascade 220. But golly, Wilbur, did it get nice and soft after I washed and blocked it. It's also got surprisingly good stitch definition:
I heart it. Too bad there's no way it will fit me. Oh, well.

I wear mine unbuttoned so it looks like it fits. :) Could you do that? It looks so pretty!
Also, I hate shoulder seaming with a firey passion.
