Knitting the Hoodie
The hoodie I told you about a few weeks ago is going well. I had started it and then Tracy got me reading some books {BTW girl, I finished the next one… have you started it?} and I put the knitting aside. The back went together easily and I finished the front yesterday.
I like the design, simple, yet a nice detail. I think you could change that center panel to something fancier with a little yarn over or a cable. I’m really hoping I made this the right size. If not, maybe it will motivate me to get back into seriously watching what I eat…
By the time you read this, I hope that the hoodie part is done and I’m sewing it together. Really not sure why they designed the hood separate. Seems it would have been better to pick up stitches and do it that way… but like a recipe I tend to follow patterns the way they are written the first time!
Looks really good! Someone gave me several skeins of light teal lightweight yarn. I have not a clue what to do with it. Not enough to make a hoodie, that’s for sure. But I can’t figure out what to make. Any ideas? <–because you are all knowing
Have you looked on raverly? You can search by the weigh of yarn instead of patterns. Maybe a bag or a shrug?
Looking great!!! I would love to hear how you attach the pieces together…
You sew it with the yarn and a yarn needle. I prefer to make items that are one piece, and if I made it again I would probably do more on a circular needle to save sewing. I don’t like the bump it leaves, but I did get it all sewed together today and got it pretty flat at the seems. And it fits!
UM……well, no….since I WAS WAITING ON YOU to tell mw YOU GOT the book????? HOW RUDE!
LOL… opps… thought I said I was going to get it the next day. Oh well… let me know when you get done with it. Tis a good one!
Looks so pretty. I can’t wait to see it when it’s all done.
