Well, I should be spinning and I should be finishing my MH cardi and my Babette blanket, but in fact I have cast on for the Heather Hoodie from Knitscene Fall 2009.

I am knitting it in Colinette Prism from stash (pause to hear admiring gasps Wink

), in a colour called Windfall, which I bought ages ago to make the Ballet wrap from another Knitscene.

The colours mean that the cables don't pop like they would in a plain colour, but they still add interest, and it's a fast knit and I think it's the kind of thing I will wear lots. Maybe I'll make one in a plain colour when I've finished this one, who knows?

Anyway, I wondered if anyone else was knitting this or fancied joining in?
Here's mine so far (this is the back):

I think DC is knitting this? - I'm not sure for me (can't get the link or Ravelry up to see the pattern atm Confused

). I meant to get a copy of Knitscene but my LYS isn't taking it anymore.

Yours looks lovely in the Colinette though Razz

I'm knitting it Very Happy

So far I've got the back and left front completed. Mine is in Sirdar Denim Chunky in a lovely cream/beigy marl, the cables are popping! I love the Prism, it will make a great hoodie Very Happy

I think terri is making this too.

Goodness look at those cables!!! Stunning!!!

I've just been looking at this and I love it (finally got the link to work for me after rebooting the router Confused

) and there are a couple of others I like in the mag so will order a copy. I won't be joining straight away as I am trying to stick with finishing one thing at a time Shocked

(I know

) and am doing well with Bertha .

The FOs on Rav all look gorgeous though!!

ETA it also depends on me finding someting I can use from stash Confused

I don't have a lot of chunky or stuff at that guage.

I really like it but not the short sleeves, I prefer long. I did a cable cardi in chunky last year but I looked like the michelin man so it got ripped out. It is a lovely hoodie though, can't wait to see them finished

I saw some people on Rav had knitted it with two strands of yarn held together... Twisted Evil

I hardly ever have chunky either, I was lucky with the Prism. Yours is gorgeous Dreamcathcer! I love the cool creamy colour
