The prevailing peace and harmony of our typical American three teen household has been disrupted.
It seems someone feels left out that she doesn't have a hoodie to call her own.
Not that her siblings are rubbing it in or anything.
Yarn purchases and promises to start knitting a third hoodie this weekend seem to have put us back on course. The usual sibling love and respect are restored.
No longer harboring fears of having her beloved hoodie torn from her shoulders, our heroine gets back to the business of rejoicing in Technicolor stripes.
Staccato Hoodie
Dream In Color Classy
Instructions from the recipient were to make it "big" and "snuggly". This one is close to the size that I made for her brother.
I don't usually think of teenagers as cute, but that is seriously one adorable montage!
