At last, I have a completed CPH to offer. What a nightmare trying to source 30mm wooden buttons, this has been waiting for them for 3 weeks. I used all but a few scraps of 500g Sirdar Donegal Tweed in Oatmeal. Added 1" to the body length, shortened the sleeves by 2" (despite my gorillia arms!), lengthened the hood by 1" to accomodate my swan neck. What an unusual creature I am! It's just the fit I was hoping for, I will wear this alot.

It looks relly good!!!! I've worn mine loads, I used donegal tweed too, so handy that you can bung it in the machine!!!!! I like it in the oatmeal colour too:-)
Beautiful CPH!! I hope mine turns out half as good :)
Looks great!
Jo I think it's stunning!:) It fits you so well, and the buttons look great. You've spurred me on to complete mine now!
Jo, it looks great, I love the colour and the buttons. Where did you get them in the end? I like the long arms on mine, great for cold welsh winters ;)
Thanks for the postive replies everyone. CJ, the buttons were from ebay id missendeavor.
Lovely hoodie and great for the weather just now, it looks a perfect fit and really useful.
Sorry to be a pain - I wondered what tension you achieved as the ball band for SDT says 20 sts and the CPH pattern says 17
Thanks!
