hood

Body and sleeves are attached, saddle shoulders complete, and now on to the hood!  Watching this take shape has been so much fun.  I'm going to modify the hood in this manner.  A little nervous about the kitchener stitch finish, but if I can graft lace I can do this, right?

So far so good.  I've loved knitting this, and hopefully will love wearing it too.

A simple lace pattern and some slightly rustic wool have been transformed into a delicate, yet hardy and warm piece of lace.  I'm very pleased with this.            

And also pleased to report that Vivian is swimming along.  I'm almost done with the body and ready to move on to the sleeves.
