So, as we are going to New York for Christmas/New Year, we are going to be very poor around Christmas time. Ofcourse, this means taking it out on our loved ones by not buying them presents but instead making them! :) and using the good ol' excuse of 'It means more if you've made it'. But DOESN'T it though :p
Cardies, cowls, bags, baby booties, blankets and stuffed toys! I got a busy couple of months ahead. I made one cowl yesterday and I'm onto a cardi today. Fingers crossed it will turn out ok, 'cause I've never made one before :s

Kesha Wolf Spirit Hood
So...
Kesha. Not really my cup of tea tbh but this was a request, and so far it's been pretty fun to make.
If you aren't sure what a Kesha Wolf Spirit Hood is have a look on her shop here.
Cool, and expensive :O
So, here is my plan:
Arms -
Inside black in garter, I'm gonna do this quite tight so it isn't too stretchy.
Outside - FLUFFY!!!!! Mottled grey.
Just gonna sew them together.
Gonna make the pockets on the inside unlike the original cause I think that makes more sense. Will do this by casting off all but first and last two stitches on the black piece and the cast on again so there is a hole and I'll sew the top up. I've also made a stash pocket by putting a couple of rows on scrap yarn and picking up later and knitting a pocket into the back.
I have no idea how I am going to make hood section other than I want it to be black on the inside and fluffy grey outside. Going to look for some inspiration on Rav. and see what I can do.
