What did I do this weekend?
Lotta Hood
I barely left my house. Barely left my TV. I didn’t miss a ski jump, a cross country race, a mogul, and, most importantly, a pairs ice skating performance.
Yesterday I had Sweater Club in the morning, returned home around noon, then at 10pm when the Olympics ended I looked down at my knitting and thought, well shit!
I knit like 13 inches of my Hoodie Devoted. Since the opening ceremonies.
I even went out Saturday night! I brought my knitting to game night and happily knit while vampires and dinosaurs were fighting in Heroscape while listening to the Lord of the Rings soundtrack.
Take a second to let just how cool I am truly sink in.
Pudge Approves!
Pudge has grown very fond of this hood, probably because she has been laying under it for two days while I was knitting. I put it on the floor to take these pictures and she was so confused.
She was mainly confused that I was standing, and walking around.
The stitch pattern is fun and interesting, the bobbles aren’t annoying and every other cable is different. Thus, this is pretty much the best pattern to work on 12 hours a day two days in a row.
Yikes.
Well, what am I supposed to be doing on a February weekend in Chicago? It’s cold, bro. And it isn’t like I should be out celebrating a holiday or anything.
you ROCK!
your hoodie is so pretty! love the pattern! I have not caught a second of the Olympics and I LOVE skating…doi.
I have gotten addicted to LOST. a friend loaned the first 5 seasons to me. and I have been giving my feb sweater a good effort!
(and a lot of yard work too)
Happy President’s Day Allyson! Hope you had a nice Valentine’s Day too!

Ahhh it’s a lovely pattern!! I ended up not being able to cast on in time because I’d got it into my head that the kick off was on Monday, so it wasn’t until Sunday I cast on a sleeve, and now I’m almost done with 1 sleeve. I can’t tell if I’m behind or not though.
And I haven’t seen any of the Olympics yet, it seems to be on at very odd times here, and I sure do like my sleep too much to stay up until 2am every night!

Thanks for the nice comments on my Aquitaine! I really love the Sexy Vesty – that is a new pattern to me. I usually don’t like vests too much on me, but that one is definitely one I would consider making!
