I just finished this latest incarnation of the Hooded Jacket for Everybody. If you are interested in making one for the Object of Your Knitting Affection you can find the pattern on Ravelry. This is a pattern that is scaleable from size Phoebe (6-18 months) up to size Full Grown Man (my son Blake who is 6'4" and has one done up in Black/Blue/White). Phoebe came by today to visit and we coaxed her into modeling this for us by requesting her assistance with some vital tasks in the garden. Most young ladies of character will not just slap on a jacket willy nilly and wear it to have their photos taken. They need a task and a purpose. And they also need the occasional hug from their mother which, as you can see, is being helpfully provided here.
Here you can see Phoebe noodling around in the herb bed looking for carrots (?) or maybe strawberries (?). She's definitely looking for something. Maybe worms? She helpfully dug up some seeds, picked some sage, and threw leaves out of the garden onto the leaf covered lawn.
And, in the picture below, you can see that she has finally gotten some work out of the way and has begun to think about her new sweater. She has discovered the buttons, and approves of them. Shortly after this she discovered the twisted cords and decided that those, too, met with her approval.
