I am doing my CPH all in one piece and have about 5 inches done. It's slow going because I have a couple of other projects going on but I'm definitely enjoying it. I think it might be too hot to wear it by the time I'm finished though. Oh well, maybe next winter. <BR/><BR/>Your's looks great! Your description of the yarn makes me want to go out and buy some so I too can have perfect gauge. :)Khalilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15258272454002206184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-32455771999205649292008-02-10T09:04:00.000-08:002008-02-10T09:04:00.000-08:00I vote zipper!

But it would be better if I didn't see you because I would have to totally snatch that sweater off your back it is so great. Although that drive is ridiculously long, Tahoe will be great next week. Do you ski or snowboard? Or do you send the family on their way and take advantage of long hours in front of a cozy fire, needles in hand?

I'll make note of the sleeve length, I'm rather ape-ish myself.<BR/><BR/>I like your reasoning for going with the buttons and it does give you another excuse for playing with clay...that's a good thing! The only thing I could add regarding a zipper would be maybe a dual action zip-----one that goes up and down from both ends what the heck are those called?<BR/><BR/>Have great ski week, and no, a week off for President's Day is not the norm around here. We don't even get the day off and the snow is, oh about 18 inches deep right out my backdoor. :o)Tracy Purtscherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14330246026472319794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-46016571081283229172008-02-08T18:53:00.000-08:002008-02-08T18:53:00.000-08:00If my experience is any indication, you've made a ...If my experience is any indication, you've made a good call on the sleeves and the length. You are so sylph-like in body shape you could probably go with either buttons or a zipper.
