This project has been a very long time in the making. In fact it had stalled completely at one front, one back and half a sleeve when the baby in question arrived! Its for the new daughter of a friend of mine and the first thing I've attempted to knit on this scale.

Its knitted in snowflake - the result was absolutely beautiful but I wouldn't recommend snowflake to a beginner knitter and I won't be knitting with it again in a hurry. The project was much bigger than I anticipated, the sleeves were almost the size of the front and the hood was something else again - picking up stitches is something I struggle with at the best of times, never mind in novelty yarn!

Thanks to support from my mum (both moral and technical) I did finish the project and manage to give the hoodie to its new owner - welcome Molly :)
