Leap-frogging hearts! Many thanks to DebiH, who named my wee heart ribbon pattern. And many, many thanks

I love the hearts. I can't wait to see what you decide, in fact I am hoping you will share so that maybe I can even use some of your modifications when I can get around to knitting the CPH.

I have the pattern for the Central Park Hoodie and plan to make it soon, although I won't be making any changes as I have not learned that part of knitting. I make patterns just as they are. I do like what you have done and hope you continue. I think it looks nice.

The hearts are very subtle yet effective. The tight cables definitely draw attention away from the hearts. A simple one or two-stitch ridge along the sides of the hearts would emphasize the hearts without drawing away from them.

And I love the color you've selected!

Lovin' the hearts, but not so much the ropes framing them.

Was LOL at "swatting" coming up with your spellchecker. Know that feeling well when it comes to SWATCHING! :)

I love it! and I really like how the smaller cable starts in the ribbing section. I've never seen that done before. How creative are you!!!

I like it! I think I might do the ropes a little looser too, but I like it.

Love the heart cable. While I also like the rope and how they frame the cable, I think the rope would probably work better if it was a little further away from the cable so it would complement the cable more instead of compete with it. Also, I'm not crazy about how the rope looks in the ribbing. Just my humble opinion!

I think it looks a little like it would be on a little girls' sweater. It's really nice and eveything, but i wouldn't want it on my sweater. Sorry!!!!

Once on the arm, I think the side cables would be too thick. Love the intertwining hearts though. Find the idea of eyelets interesting as it will 'lighten the look', but it may take more swatching (arghh) and don't know that you will want to go there.
