The Wonderful Wallaby was not a walk in the park. I have 4 index cards with notes, and I have written warnings for myself in the book. The next one will be better. If you attempt this pattern, google it first. There are several sites that gives heads up on several issues. Ravelry has a group dedicated to this sweater. The Ravelry site is a good source of information. What sucked the joy out of this for me : I hate double points. I know how to do the Kitchener Stitch, but 80 stitches for the hood (size 6) was finger nails on a chalk board. I get distracted easily so put that with the 80 stitches and the 4 repeats for the stitch, Houston we have a problem. Not entering this in the fair. Maybe I should give it with a warning . Baby grandson do not wear this around : knitting mommies, nanas, or aunties. Always raise your right arm to answer any questions in pre-school ( Mimi's kitchener stitch looks slightly better under the right sleeve.)** Smiles**
I wish for you the begining of Spring in your heart. It is in mine and its a lovely feeling. Hugs bugs
Off to heat up the stew. I made it yesterday and it is so much better the second day. Yum
