Hood

So, I tried to crochet this hood, which looks so elegant on the page and sort of quirky.

Even though I stuck to the pattern, my result looks more like something that I wore when I was about three years old and therefore more fuzzy and cutesy rather than elegant. Using two different yarn weights turned out to be a worse idea than anticipated. It means that the non-scaly parts of both the cowl and the hood become unintentionally... springy. Still, it's my first major project and I'm quite pleased.



That's me in the hood, by the way. The angle makes it look as though I'm wearing a crocheted bag over my head.
