Grafted like skin

So what did I do last night? Grafting baby. I finished grafting the hood. I didn’t like how I did the back part of the hood, but it will be fine. The body is blocking and then it is time for final assembly and possibly a steam blocking. I made it too long, but it covers my tush. I like that. I prefer stuff that keeps that area warm. I couldn’t have done it as fast as I did without PumpkinKnit’s grafting instructions. I ended up putting it into a spreadsheet to make it two pages.

I think I may make another one, shorter this time, in Bartlett yarn’s Glen tweed. I don’t know what color, but now that I know what I am doing and a lot more comfortable, I am ready to do this in something nicer. Not that Wool of the Andes is bad, but i want something with a bit more pop or zing to it.

Pictures after assembly of course.
