New Fits

I have a hoodie addiction and I can’t help it. I just love the feeling of being cozy so much! At Christmastime I got some cash in lieu of gifts and I put that to work on Etsy….

Jellybean helped me model these. But first up was a crewneck with the cutest font saying “Coffee & Knitting” in a nice neutral cream color. This was a XXL and is the perfect slightly oversized fit.

Next up was a full on XXL hoodie about knitting super powers. I have been working on changing my health for the last 6 months and I am a smaller human than I used to be. I could have probably taken this down to an XL. But I am still learning to trust my body and the mirror. It’s a struggle for real!

Do I have enough hoodies to wear a new one for every day of the week? Yes. I would be happy if I could live in hoodies all year round. I’m all about the hygge. Stay cozy friends!!

FO Friday: Snug #2

My second attempt at Snug is done!! This pattern is by Hinke.

This is not my first swing at this pattern and it won’t be the last! I used 212 grams or 288.3 yards of Knit Picks Brava Bulkly in Peapod. That’s just about 2 skeins plush a little of a third skein. The body is worked flat. The sleeves are done on DPNs. And the hood is knit flat and closed withe Kitchener stitch.

I was not has happy with this sweater as I was with my first sweater. The shoulders are ugly to me. For whatever reason, I didn’t get the arm decreases placed very well. They are visible along the top. And the the sewing I did on the seams on the shoulders is not as clean as I would like. But I am assured by my husband that he can’t see it. Oh…#knitter problems

The part of this sweater that I really love is the buttons. I spotted them at JoAnns and I was in love!! The watermelons really save this project for me. I deviated from the pattern a bit and added four buttons instead of the pattern request of three.

Into the FO stash this one goes. I love having some cuteness hidden away for a rainy day! Happy Friday to all!!!
