Yesterday, I did not have enough yarn for the hood, so now it is a sweater with a collar. I also decided that, should I make this pattern again, I will do stockinette, rather than garter stitch, as this is a bit crunchy granola-looking for me. However, I think that any number of children would happily wear the basic design and construction of the thing.
Tonight, i realized that I picked up the wrong number of stitches for the first sleeve, so I had to rip back and start again. I have not yet made it back to where I was when I figured that out. I did, however, leave a longer tail, which I can use to stitch up the under-arm and start the sleeve seam at the wrist.
Net progress for the day, but not great progress.
