"Willoughby wallaby woo. An elephant sat on you. Willoughby wallaby wee. An elephant sat on me!" (lyrics from one of our favorite Raffi songs.)
Every time I hear the word, wallaby, that song pops into my head. Maybe that's why Carol A. Anderson's timeless Wallaby hoodie appeals to me. I picked up the pattern at a cute little yarn shop in Salt Lake City last summer. The boys love the casual, cozy look of the sweater and have been asking me to make them each one.
I finally cast on for Hudson's last night. He chose an earthy, moss green for the project (dyed onto my worsted, superwash merino, Supernova base yarn). I think I will add a few stripes on the chest like this one I found on Ravelry. Maybe charcoal gray and aqua? Definitely something modern and fun. I must say, I love this yarn. It's super soft and knits up so nicely.
Oh, and if you haven't done so already...Head over to Mackenzie's blog to enter to win a skein of Orion yarn. You can enter up to five times!
I made my youngest one several years ago. I loved it. And of course, we enjoy that song. Such a deep green.
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern! My older boys would really like that hoodie, another project on the list :)
