I finally finished this sweater after spending an hour or so trying to knit the last four rows of the hood based on a completely incorrect pattern. Thanks Vogue Knitting for reminding me why I swore off your patterns the last time. Anyway I got some help from several Ravelry knitters who had figured it out but then when I finally got it finished I didn't like how big and floppy it was and since it didn't even look good up I just ripped it out and then made the fold over collar you see in the photos. I'm pleased with how the sweater turned out in the end. I did squeeze in one more cable on the back than the pattern called for when I had my second attempt at finishing. Other than that the only change I made was to lengthen the sleeves.

This is the hooded pullover from Vogue Fall 2008.

I started this project because I've had the yarn for a while and I wanted to work on something a bit quicker than all my other fingering weight projects but this one is a bit tough to work so I find I have to take so many breaks that it doesn't actually seem to be going quite so fast as I hoped. I've done the body and started one of the sleeves, the only modification I've made so far is to extend the ribbing bit on the sleeve a bit.
