FO Friday! My mom's hood.

Look! I do finish things once in awhile!

My mom and my little sister came in for a visit today, along with my sister's friend C who lives with the family. Yesterday evening I finally realized this was the week, so I figured I should probably finish sewing up my mom's hood. The crocheting has been done for ages, it just need sewn up and the ends woven in. I think I need to practice sewing more- my stitches usually end up pretty even and fairly invisible, but it's so agonizing. I think if I get more practice in I might get to a point where I can do it more quickly and easily. And not whine about it the entire time. Maybe? I hope. It'll probably look prettier too.

Here is my mom's hood, modeled by my younger sister-


Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

  3. Oh I love this one. I have the book with this pattern also and always wondered if I should try it. After seeing your fantastic project I think I will try it too!

    1. I didn't know there was a book with this! Or maybe it's just similar? Either way you should try it! Hoods like this are nice and warm and come with their own neckwarmers. And in my experience they are less likely to mess up hair too :)
