Last night I added the finishing touches on this, the crochet ties. The hood and sleeves seemed to take forever yet all of the shoulder decreases went real quick. Go figure. I did the sleeves magic loop. Try to ignore the fact I screwed up when picking up the armhole stitches, resulting in a row of garter stitch then reverse stockinette rather than stockinette for the rest of the sleeve.

I really enjoyed this pattern. Clear directions made it easy for even a beginner like me to make this. I’m going to look and see if she’s got an adult version of this as I’d love one for myself. It was a big hit with my knitting group and I’m hope it’ll be with Amy (and the new baby), too.
