Hoodie Sweater for Ben

Last week I ordered a kit from Mary Maxim.  It came yesterday.  So last night I opened up the package and was thrilled until I saw that instead of a full skein of the red and white yarn I needed they sent yardage.  It was wrapped with an elastic band.  It took me over and hour and a half to untangle this mess!  If I had known they were going to send 30 or 70 yards of this yarn I would have told them to add a full skein and paid the difference.  Live and learn!

So last night I read the pattern (and I am so old that I just hate the charted patterns) I decided to make the two fronts at the same time...so off I go!!!!  Well, worrying I won't have enough red to do the sweater with I was trying not to leave any tails but had to....too old to figure out and too late at night what I should do.  So I got 8 rows done and said thats enough and put it up!

The pocket is different than any others I have done over my many years of knitting so I thought "here we go" and I will probably really screw this up good!  As you can see by the pictures I have now got the pocket added on and the knitting is going good! I will add more pics as I knit along...hope you enjoy the photos!
