This year, once again, I was blessed with an abundance of yarn for knitting projects. My SIL gifted me with (I think) nine balls of Caron Simply Soft in autumn red, denim blues and sage green. Yay! Coincidentally, I had purchased four balls of autumn red at Wally World the same day the gifts arrived at our house.

I was going to make a hoodie, but I decided just to cast on and see what would happen. Here we are, a pullover in progress. I will most likely frog back the seed stitches at the bottom and add two inches. That, or add more decreases to the waist area, but I might be too lazy to do that and too eager to get on to the next thing I want to do.

I plan to make the sleeves extra long, about 2 inches or so, and add some holes an inch and a half before the end of the sleeves. That way I can slip my thumbs in there and the sleeves won't ride up when it's cold :) I got this idea from someone else's project (Ysolda's Apocalypse Tree Hoodie).

Note to Karen: I hope I told you I got the gift certificate for Webs (Yarn.com). THANK YOU!!! I'll be buying yarn to make a Central Park Hoodie. I think anyway. Hehe.
