We braved the 13 degree weather this morning to bring you some FO pictures. Note the lack of 3 inches of snow that we were supposed to get last night – I’m going to stop watching the weather report. Totally useless. Anyway, the hoodie is done: Pattern: 21 from Phildar 397. I couldn’t find the [...]
