Colorplay Hoodie Reviewed by Robin Spivak on 2013-05-21
I loved this pattern. Until last summer I had only knit dishcloths and scarves, so this was new for me. I love that you've provided a sweater pattern for those of us less experienced knitters. I loved the yarn too. Even though it is wool, it was extremely soft.
