Yarn Dilemma

 Central Park Hoodie

Determine to finish this project. Pattern is called the Central Park Hoodie designed by Heather Lodinsky. It previewed on Knit scene 2006 fall issue. Here you see the front right, left, and the back. What's left are the sleeves, and the hoodie. However I have a dilemma. I don't have enough yarn to complete the hoodie, and this yarn along with the dye lot have been discontinued.  I've tried the internet and other websites. Still no luck locating this yarn. So my solution is knit the hoodie with another yarn and hope that it will look just as great. I really like this pattern.

Bad Hair Day! I am having a great hair day, as for Chloe; well she’s still adjusting to her new do. Here are some shots of her before and after. Feeling sorry for her, I decided to knit her a little sweater to keep her warm. She loves her sweater and looks forward to putting it on every morning. I don’t think it will last very long, as I made it for her current size, not allowing much room for growth. Once she is fully grown, I'll probably have to redo it. I have always wanted to learn how to weave, and I have even tried to convince, my fiancée, to take a class with me. I think he may enjoy weaving classes. Now after reading Sweet Georgia , I am getting that bug again. Even so, all that warping seems like a lot of work.
