Put a baby in them.
Jess said I could post pictures of her little one making my Dragon Hoodie look almost too cute to bear.
If you think that's cute, check out the other pictures, after the bump.
I had enough time to make a few spots for the little Dragon Hoodie, before the gift was due to be received. I really like how they look in front.

Well, I took the comments to heart and I decided two things,
And here's what I think I want to do for spots. Instead of patches, like the original has, I'm doing bobbles. I used Nicky Epstein's Knitted Embellishments as a reference for the technique. I think it'll be cute and much faster than trying to get full sized spots knit before this afternoon when the recipient's mom arrives.
I'll, of course, have a final picture for you when it's done.
Sofi is the name of the little girl who will be wearing this sweater soon.
The only thing not done are the spots. I'm not sure I'll have time to do them and I don't think the sweater is hurt by being plain, but the spots sure are cute. We'll see. I'm also dangerously low on purple yarn so what spots I might knit will be of a fairly small quantity.
Isn't the hoodie looking cute? I have to admit, I enjoy this knit even if it is my own design. Unfortunately, having talked to the woman to receive this, it appears the piece may be a little too short. I'm going to have to pull out the trim on the body of the piece. It's all knit in one piece with nice mitered corners and a tubular bind off which is great because it looks so nice but I suspect that now that the ends are woven in, it may be a bit of a P.I.T.A. to pull out. That's what I get, though, huh?
On a completely unrelated note, this should be reassuring to every one of us who has ever wished we looked as good as a woman on the cover of a magazine. Warning: requires Flash
Also, a couple hilarious songs (one with video)
