Sophie HoodAttempt 5 ๐งถ๐งฃ. This time, I started at the center with a provisional CO, finished the hood first and now trying to make the scarf work.
wow. this gives me more motivation to work on mine!
wow that hooded shawl is really elegant.
I saw a Sophie hood out in the world yesterday, just as I was contemplating giving up and frogging this project.
Walked up to a random stranger to compliment their work, and their reply: "I have never met a crafter in the wild before, you made my day."
Thank you Universe, for this sign! ๐งถ

happy to help!
Sophie hood ๐งถ๐งฃ attempt number 3 with a different gauge. I don't know why I do this to myself.
My yarn is thicker. It knits beautifully, so I decided to stick with it. I wans't able to achieve the pattern gauge.
Hopefully I will find the right adaptation soon ๐
same. I canโt hit the pattern gauge, so have resigned to constant frogging.

Every language science association MUST condemn this.
The only thing I can do today is to check up on the birds outside.
