| Heather Hoodie KAL anybody? |
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 ), 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 ). I meant to get a copy of Knitscene but my LYS isn't taking it anymore.
Yours looks lovely in the Colinette though  |

I'm knitting it 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 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 ) 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 (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 I don't have a lot of chunky or stuff at that guage. |

| Ooh I could easily be tempted... |

So could I.
I had a quick look earliei but we had to go out before I could reply.... I have plenty of chunky I could use from stash to knit that in! Yippeeeee!! |

Ah, now there's the rub! I've no chunky yarn in stash nor do I have a copy of the pattern (yet ) |

| 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 |

Don't worry, I haven't got a copy of the pattern yet either Glynis  |

I saw some people on Rav had knitted it with two strands of yarn held together...
I hardly ever have chunky either, I was lucky with the Prism. Yours is gorgeous Dreamcathcer! I love the cool creamy colour
