santa cruz hoodie
Monday, February 15, 2010I've had the knit 2 together book for quite sometime, loving many patterns in there but never making a single one. Until now, that is.
The santa cruz hoodie. It looks a little big here, but I actually made it to fit a one year old.
I forgot how much I loved knitting little knits. Little knits on big needles out of really wonderful yarn. And I hope the little guy that will be wearing this plays ALL spring in it. And eats a lot of messy foods. And hides tiny treasures in the front pocket. Maybe even a half eaten cookie. Cause his mommy can throw it into the washer and the dryer. Perfect.
I loved the look Abi gave her tags, so I antiqued a few, too.
Pattern: Santa Cruz Hoodie, Knit 2 Together
Yarn: Cascade Yarns 128 Superwash color 1919, 4 hanks
Needles: US size 10.
Size: Because of gauge difference, I made a 2 year size in order to obtain measurement of a 1 year.
More snow on the way. So glad knitting was invented.
Have a great one.

ReplyDeletethat sweater is so cute, i want one for myself.
ReplyDeleteour library has that book & it's got so many great patterns!
LUV to whip up the little knits:)
(ps. the quote was from men in black!)
Oh, I am so glad you tried the tags!
ReplyDeleteWould you believe I picked up Knit2Together at the Tractor Supply the other day on a hay run?! They had it in the clearance bin for $5! It has some really great stuff in it. The hoodie is adorable :)
Oh, that sweater is just too cute. I love the idea of antiquing the metal tags. I think I have a bunch stashed somewhere. Hmmmm...
ReplyDeleteCute sweater and love the color.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I just finished a baby knit, too, and was like, this is awesome - they're done in (relative) seconds! MORE snow?! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wish we had a little more here - we spent the weekend skiing on GRASS, there is so little of the white stuff!
ReplyDeleteI always LOVE the way you gift-wrap your knits and other crafts.
ReplyDeleteI want one in my size!!! Check my blog out tomorrow....I whipped up the chunky beanie and linked back to your blog....I wear it ALL the time!! Perfect for all of the shoveling......with lots more snow on the way this week!
ReplyDeleteIt is very cute and I love how little boys love pockets to fill up with their little treasures.
ReplyDeleteI love knitting for little ones and I find if I ever lose my knitting mojo a baby knit is a sure way to get it back.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, will be a super snugly sweater! Great color too.
ReplyDeleteI love that! I checked that book out from the library and really liked it. Now I have to go look at it again. I think I need 3 pair of hands to get everything done.
ReplyDeleteLove that sweater--I looked at that book the other day and fell in love with the entire thing--so many great patterns to choose from!
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable Leslie!

LOve it I think this will need to be one of my next knits too. Ive had my eye on this one for some time now. love the tag too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet sweater! Thx for sharing the link to the antiquing of the tags...going to try that today I think!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful book - I have a long list of patterns bookmarked too. This one turned out wonderful and I love your ideas for that front pocket!
ReplyDeleteadorable. I'm going to show this to the boys...I wonder if I could find one to knit them. They are into hoodies and ski jumps these days. But then again, I wouldn't finish it until next year...and they will be on to something else, probably girls.
ReplyDeleteLove the sweater! Time to buy the book!

Gorgeous! I love the color. I've had this book for forever...this will definitely be the 1st thing I make when I finally get to it. I love the gift tag.
ReplyDeleteVery cute little sweater. I enjoy knitting for my daughter who is 11 but a small 11 year old. Her sweaters go so much faster than mine and she loves when I knit for her which just makes me want to knit for her more! I have been pondering making Libby for her since it should be her size and she loved it when I showed it to her.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou are so good... I'm thinking of trying my first sweater. I linked from here: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thepluckyknitter/francis-revisited-2 and saw some more here: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/thepluckyknitter/francis-revisited-2
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping I can pull it off.
That's a great sweater!! I truly bet it will get lots and lots of wear.

ReplyDeleteIn case you were wondering....my "red velvet cake diet" is going great!

ReplyDeletewhere did you find the pattern?
I'm smitten, SO smitten. Maybe, just maybe, this I could do...
ReplyDeletethis is just gorgeous and i love the colour -- is it on straight needles?
ReplyDeleteI always flip past that in my copy. I think lil' Willie needs one for sure!
ReplyDeleteYours looks great!
Love that sweater! I have that book and am getting it out right now!
ReplyDeleteThat sweater is fabulous! I grew up in Santa Cruz and I have to say the pattern is aptly named!
ReplyDeletei love that front pocket, and your wrapping too.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I like the way that turned out. I got that book for Christmas after having it from the library on so many occasions. It's difficult to choose which of the beautiful patterns to tackle first...I chose the Pimlico Shrug and just purchased the yarn the other day!
ReplyDeleteHow handsome is that hoodie? That is one fortunate little lad.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love how this turned out. Adorable.
