Wonderful!!!!!

First, I finally found some foam mats that fit together so I can FINALLY block myshawls.  Of course, having them and doing them are two different things!!!

Okay, now for the wonderful part!!  Friends in Columbia were making the cutest hoodies, so I got the booklet, "Wonderful Wallabys".  It has a pattern that can be made for children through adult.

From Cottage Creations, purchased at Hillcreek Yarn Shoppe.

Adding the pouch was a new adventure.  It's not perfect, but this is my practice hoodie.

Now, I am halfway through the sleeves.  After finding my rhythm, and the "good" way to hold the needles, they are moving along faster than when I started.

Sorry it's sideways.  It's "normal" in my pictures folder, but you get the idea.
I hope I have enough to actually put a hood on this thing.  If not, it's okay, I'm learning a lot just doing this part. The neck opening is a placket, so no need for I-cord!!!!!
I'll bring it Wednesday.
The only sewing will be six stitches under each arm. 
Having fun on this horribly hot afternoon!!!!
