Melissa Burnett commented on Chelle Banzaca's blog post And the fun begins with the new project - customized sweater"You sound like you have worked out all of the details!

Chelle Banzaca posted a blog postAnd the fun begins with the new project - customized sweater
Recently I had been searching for a hoodie pattern that had a classic look to it. Since I couldn't find one, I chose to go with Lion Brand Lion Cotton knit hooded sweater in the adult version. I am not using cotton because I did not want the hassle of worrying about shrinkage. That was my first adjustment. I did some other little things after taking measurements so it was more custom, and I changed the ribbing.

I did find a pattern that I have started to alter myself. Changing up the knit pattern is a new thing for me. I am still working on my confidence in my skill level so I…"
Patricia M Hall commented on Chelle Banzaca's blog post Moving on to the next......."The last time I made a hoodie for my son, I just put a hood on a pattern I liked instead of searching for hoodie patterns, because, you are right, they aren't great. Actually, most knit patterns for boys aren't great."

Geez, sounds like a line from the Ghosthunters show, lol. Anywho, I have finally gotten my grandsons knit pants off my needles. Here they are: I had to add a little double chain (crochet) tie to it, to keep them more snug. It was the first time I ever knit pants for a baby. I am STILL working on fine tuning my stitching together. I…See More
Chelle Banzaca commented on Patricia M Hall's blog post New Year, New Resolutions!"I agree with the making more stuff for yourself. As a crocheter and a knitter, I seem to be making a million things for everyone else, but never me. So far all I have made for myself in the past year is a cowl! Right now I am working on a hoodie for…"

Current task, green shopping bag
Shown here is the final product of my grandson's hoodie sweater. I was very pleased with the outcome. Until I get a frontal shot, here it is:
I am now setting up a pair of knit pants to go with it. It is so great to have little ones to knit and crochet for again!
