Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,
Well, she loves it!
Time to attach the top of the kangaroo pouch. Next a little blocking and then all will be done. I’m actually feeling a bit sad that it will soon be over.
What do you think?

Wow! I love it!!! The kangaroo pocket and hood and pom poms and thumb holes are the greatest. I love how involved TC has been in the planning and I know she will wear it a lot because of it. Great job.
We have our first cool day (high in the 60′s) here in Tennessee and I think I will get to wear my striped Spud & Chloe raglan for the first time this afternoon! Yeah!!!

That is looking so cute! I love the cords and pom poms–such a fun detail. I can’t wait until my kids are a bit older and able to give more input on designing their own knitwear.
Looks great! Thanks for the video on picking up stitches. I love watching people knit who know what they are doing. I have been knitting since sixth grade, but only in the last 5 or 6 years have I learned how to read a pattern or do anything other than garter stitch. Now I don’t go anywhere without my knitting, even if I’m going through the drive-through at the bank, I spend my waiting time knitting. Love it!
Wonderful!
For a bit of encouragement to everyone, I got my J.Jill catalog in the mail today. We can knit $89.00 sweaters now! The Thick and Thin sweater has a cute rolled edge and a crocheted neck edge. The Cardigan version has the cutest rounded pockets with a rolled edge and the Textural Cardigan has cute garter detail on the little rounded pockets. But the basic recipe is the raglan pullover! Go see…

This sweater would be a hit with my daughter for sure. I love the bright colours….. long cuffs, what’s not to love?
I love it!! The colors are beautiful. Just in time for some fall weather too.
You have done such a nice job with this KAL, Susan! TC’s input has been fun to watch as well….Thank you so much!
Sara
I think TC was right mom. Those little touches are fantastic!!!
What a cool sweater! I love the pom poms!
Love it!!
Now that’s one special sweater! Wonderful. I’m still knitting along. I’m a third of the way through my first sleeve, and am itching to finish it (oh busy schedule!)…
Totally rocks! Love it!
You really out did yourself this time Susan! It is absolutely gorgeous!!! Thanks for doing this KAL, even if I was late to start.
I love the pocket and hood; thumbholes and pom poms all in beautiful stripes…you are so talented!
I think TC should consider majoring in design …
Gorgeous! That girl of yours knew what she wanted and the end result is just perfect.
So perfect! I really love all the little details. Great job
That’s really cute hoodie… Now will you take orders? LOL!
The color combination, hoodie, thumbholes and pocket make it all fun to follow… I wasn’t able to keep up after all I ran into problems doing the first part and gave up. What’s the next project do you have in store for us? Christmas??
It looks great!!
The sweater looks great! I’m due with a little girl in February and I think she would look adorable in a tinier version.
In other news, I just received the pattern for the Buga Baby Bunting, plus four skeins of Outer in Rocket. The color is even more beautiful in real life than the pictures online. There’s a raspberry-ness to it that I couldn’t see online. I am loathe to finish my other projects — all I want to do is CAST ON!!!
Happy knitting!
Love it! I’m sure she will be on cloud nine when she wears it! Pack it up when she outgrows it to be passed down to one of her kids someday!
Your daughter has very good taste and her Mom is a great knitter! Just adorable.
Sheri
Looks wonderful!
It’s so cute, I want one for myself!
The kangaroo pocket rocks! It’s all fantastic. So fun seeing it all come together.
My daughter would love this sweater. I’ll have to get started…..
GREAT hoodie. I love the thumb holes and the pom poms. Great special touch.
It looks really great! I’m not sure which I like most, the actual sweater or the fact that TC got to customize the design.
Love it! You and TC make a good designing team. I look forward to future collaborations.
Totally adorable! We love it all the great details. I have been requested to knit one “Just Like It” for my 12 year old Girly. Of course, Just Like It, except could the stripes be different colors and could it have a zipper…
The sweater is perfect! Did you pick up stitches for the pocket from the sweater? When you bind off, will you bind off and attach the pocket at the same time, or just sew it on?
The colors are wonderful. Thank you for your effort.
Carol Ann
I’ll talk about all of that on the next post:)
I’m looking forward to it:)
Carol Ann
That is so cute! I’ll be watching for how you did the pocket.
Fabulous!! You did it and it is gorgeous, love the colours TC selected and the cute pom-poms and thumb sleeves are perfect (as is the whole sweater)! I bet TC LOVES to wear it, knowing it was made with so much love and attention to detail. Well done!
Thank you for sharing your progress on this wonderful sweater! So much fun to watch! The sweater is gorgeous.
How –and where!– are you joining new yarns? Your stripes look so even!
I have about a dozen stripes in my sweater, so far, and am about two inches past joining the neckline for knitting in the round, but at the yarn changes I keep winding up with a gap like a bound-off button hole. I’m fixing it when I weave in the ends, so the sweater looks fine outwardly, but I know it’s a structural problem. Any advice? Thank you!

I join in the new colors in a discreet spot like on the side so it isn’t as noticeable. Sometimes if I remember I will do the jogless jog (google it and you’ll find loads of info) and then when I weave in the ends I give an extra tug to make sure the joins aren’t loose.
Thank you! I’ll look up “jogless jog.” Your sweater stripes look perfect!
I absolutely love this sweater! The colors are awesome!
LOVE it ~ the colors, the hood & the pom poms add the sweetest touch!!
Hey, you used to write great, but the last few posts have been kinda boring… I miss your tremendous writings. Past several posts are just a little bit out of track! come on!
My problem has been already stated earlier with the flickering and inproper placing of ads. To add to it, I can not uninstall ie9, it does not show up in programs as being installed, but it is. When I try to re-install ie9, it gives an error that it can not install ie9 because I have a newer version of ie on my system. I’ve tried to go back to a Restore point, but they are now gone, except for the Restore point that my computer did right after installing ie9.
