The last thing I knit and finished was those legwarmers for my yoga teacher in February. (The knit tie was
knitting up way too thick to actually tie in a knot, so that's been
shelved.) I just realized this lack of knitting may be contributing to feeling like I need hippie affirmations all the time.
But what to knit? Sure, I could finish the two sweaters for me lying around, but I think I need a new project. And I think Skyler needs a little hooded sweater for the fall.
Construction-wise, I think this pattern ("Duck Soup") wins (knit in one piece, plus the cuffs and hood edges can be rolled back to accommodate him growing):
But I love the Christopher-Robin-ness of "Roo" (and the real toggle closures, vs. knitted ones):
So planning has begun. I just hope this kid doesn't grow too fast between now and the end of the year--look how big he's getting!

Both patterns look terrific! I wonder if Roo will end up seeming awfully long (I'm guessing it will stretch a bit as it's worn)? Love the details, though.
Skyler just came up to the iPad and pointed to the first one. I think he wants that one. :)
Alan, tell Bubbs he picked the one his auntie would have picked!
And Jodi, I think you're right. Roo just looks too fussy overall.
