Finished: Souvenir Hoodie
Stats:
-Pattern: Knitscene Spring 08
-Yarn: single strand of Blue Sky Dyed Cotton (3 skeins each color)
-Toggles: Quadriliteral toggles distributed by Rowan
-Needles: addi’s size 9
-Size: 41″ with some mods
-Mods: Even though I was on gauge, the sweater was HUGE after removing the sleeves. So I ripped back at least two inches of the raglan increases and then divided. I think that it fits perfect now! Also, used a single strand of BSA cotton rather than a double strand of Lily Chin yarn doubled on 6’s (I still can’t figure out how her model didn’t feel like cardboard knit that tight!)
I’m really happy with this one. Fer Sher.

That’s great! I’m having trouble with a washcloth pattern and I see this and and feel silly about my washcloth! :)

Oh it’s cute! I am nervous whenever someone says a sweater turned out way too big or small. I just made a “L” Best Friend Cardigan and I’ll bet it would fit Eden.
