The Central Park Hoodie

Here are the pictures of the yarn that I promised two weeks ago.I am really loving this yarn and the service from The Irish Ewe was fantastic. I ordered my yarn on Tuesday morning and recieved it on Friday.Which was really fast when you consider they are in Maine and I am in Alabama.The yarn is a beautiful color called Bottle Green.In the picture of the sweater I have just completed the first skein and am ready to start the second.I ordered six skeins. The Socks that Rock skein is to show the size of the Irish Ewe yarn.Those skeins really are large.They have about 350 yards per skein.And yes, I did get almost the entire back from just one skein.I only have a few more inches to go on the back.

I got my yarn.I hand rolled one skein into a ball.It really is pretty and I will post a picture this weekend.I ordered the yarn from The Irish Ewe.It is an Irish aran yarn in bottle green.It came three days after I ordered it.Great service there.I have a new computer and haven't even gotten my camera program loaded on here yet.I just got back from a Christmas program.Two of my grandchildren were in.My granddaughter was a fairy and my grandson played a Christmas tree.They were both so cute and I forgot the camera.What kind of grandmother am I??? Apparently,the kind that forgets the camera.Oh well,after working all day and trying to remember to take my cell phone and pager what more could I remember.I am on call tonight for work.I did get a call while I was at the program,but the cell phone didn't work out in the holler where I was.lol In north Alabama where I live we have hills and hollers.I was in a holler.Cell phones don't work there and apparently,they called my team leader when they couldn't get me.I would have done just as well to have remembered the camera and left the phone and pager at home.I work for a home health agency and quit the prison a few months ago.I am really loving home health.It really is a big change from anything else I have ever done.The patients are much nicer,too,and I don't have to watch my back.Well,not as much.Some of the places I go can get a little strange at times.Time to get off of here.Hubby is on his way home.Have to find something to feed him.

I have yarn ordered for the Central Park Hoodie and will be starting that as soon as the yarn arrives.I am starting the gussett on the second sock of a pair.The yarn is from Brooklyn Handspun.I really like the yarn.It is pooling,though.Will try to post a picture later.I ordered my yarn for the hoodie from Irish Ewe.I ordered it yesterday morning and they emailed me that it was in the mail yesterday afternoon.Pretty quick service.I haven't used the yarn before,but have read good things about it and think it will work well for the hoodie.
