Pattern: Knitting Pure and Simple Neck Down Pullover for Women #9724

Pattern: Central Park Hoodie from Fall 2006 Knitscene

Yarn: Knit Picks Swish Superwash in Coast Grey

Needles: Addi Turbos size 8 & 6

Notes: I did not change one thing in this pattern, but I did block at the piece level and at the finished product level. I think it helps for construction and then for fit in the end.

Wicked

Wicked

Pattern:Wicked by Zephyr Style
Yarn: Elann's Peruvian Highland Wool in color # 0744  Harvest Heather
Needles: Addi Turbos size 7
Notes: While I did add some length to the body,  I do think I could have gotten away with a couple more inches....especially if I wanted to wear it to work. I opted not to add the pocket because of the whole work thing, but I guess I always could go back and add it. It was what drew me to the pattern to begin with.
