Problems with the Susie Hoodie but that's ok because now I can finish the horses :)

Hi there everyone I thought I would drop a note to say its been a busy week.  I started work on the Susie Hoodie by Mandy Moore and I have to say this is probably the most confusing pattern I have ever worked!  So I have posted on Ravelry some questions to help me figure it out.  It is a big project and the biggest I have worked so far but that's ok I am definately up for the challenge.  If anyone has done this pattern please let me know how you did and I would love to see pictures too :)







So here I am trying to plug away at it and hopefully I can have it done and wearable soon.  Now the other project I have going on is a cross stitch from Dimensions called Horses at the stream and it is beautiful.  Unfortunately I started this one in 2010 just before my father passed away and I have not made any real progress with it since.  I don't know if it is a psychological issue but I do know that since he passed I have had more than my fair share of  "challenges" in life.  We had a baby, moved across the country and have had problem after problem.  Now, on the other hand, things have finally settled down enough so that I can feel comfortable enough to get things going, started or finished lol.  So I think until I get answers to the questions of knitting, I will actually pick up the cross stitch and finish that off.  It is a huge piece and I can't wait to see it finished and hanging up on the wall :)

The incredibly awesome Susie Hoodie!

Now it helps that one of my best friends name is Susie (big smile) and this jacket looks great so I had to try it.  I am having problems with it right now and it looks like I might have to start from scratch but oh well, that's how it goes right.  The pattern does not flow well and it is confusing about where you are supposed to be on the chart and at which point but I am sure I will get it figured out lol.  Happy knitting everyone.

My new Coco purse

Well everyone I had to post pics of my latest creation.  The Coco purse with a slightly different twist :)



I decided to go with chain and a premade handle I got at Walmart because I really liked it.  I would love some opinions :)
