Comments(1) I was hoping to have a completed denim hooded baby cardigan to show by the end of the weekend. I finished seaming the back of the hood and attaching the hood to the neckline today, so at least I made progress. What’s left?

Read More..>> Comments(0) I’m slightly more than halfway done now. I have the other sleeve and the hood left, plus the buttonbands. I love how this is working up, though all of the ends and the stockinette do grate on my nerves after a while. I haven’t washed any of the pieces yet. They’re all going to shrink [...]
