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 :)
