Continental Baby Hoodie Done!

It started off achingly slow, but by the end of it I was whipping along, stitches flying off the needle at a dizzying speed, me with a grin of satisfaction on my face. You would have thought I was watching my daughter take her first steps. The frustration of learning a new technique was definitely worth it.

Here it is, my first continental piece. It's a simple button-down hoodie in cotton boucle, and then I added a colourful I-cord edging to give it some visual interest. I'm pretty happy with it. Now I just need to find someone with an infant to give it to, because this thing is little!
