Rhinebeck is 3 weeks away, so I am pushing hard to make progress on my Central Park Hoodie. Today, I picked up 328 stitches along the button band, altogether in one piece on one really long circular needle. I knitted up to the point where I made the buttonholes. Instead of the buttonhole that is descibed in the pattern, I used the one-row horizontal buttonhhole method, as seen on page 204 of "Vogue Knitting - the Ultimate Knitting Book". The buttonhole is a little more neat, and it is wide enough to allow room for my buttons that measure 1 1/8 inches.
Just about 4 more rows to go on the button band, and the seaming will begin!!! Sorry for the lack of pictures. I am trying to decide which camera to buy. Hopefully by next week I will decide.

I'm looking forward to seeing your progress! Sounds like you're almost there-woohoo!
Cool beans! Glad you made more progress. Keep it up. I know how much you are dying to start the next one (even though poor Snuggle has to be in time out).
Keep at it! I'm lookign forward to seeing you wear this at Rhinebeck! Only 17 days left.
I'm sur eyou'll be done in more than enough time. Might I suggest a canon camera. I luv mine and I'm sure you could find one tha tyou liek for a reasonable price.
