Below is the back of the jacket I knit for Sam. He wanted me to knit him a hoody that had many colors in it. The first picture is of the back. The second is of the front. It may not have turned out the way he imagined it and he may never wear it but I had a nice time knitting it for him. It looks like the hood is way to small for the jacket but actually it is just laying funny but is the right size for the jacket.
This is a quilt for my baby Beth. Of course my youngest baby will be 39 y.o this December. Oh boy, am I ever getting old!! But I digress. The quilt---it took me several weeks to make it with a couple of months vacation in between. The sewing room got cleaned up and all the scraps put away and it was out of mind for a bit. This quilt is very heavy, one of the reasons is because it has a bazillion seams in it. It will take a trip to Tennessee this fall for Beth. I am sure she will get more use out of it that I would here in my desert.
I have already started another quilt. This one is altogether different than the ones I have already made. I AM NOT A QUILTER. Quilters are very precise and do such perfect work. I would not like for a QUILTER to inspect this quilt.

At last I know why I can't quilt. I am not precise, so that explains why my squares, are, well not square and seams a little crooked. I think you are a process knitter too, I will email with a furhter explanation but you're not far off.
My grandmother used to make quilts like that. If your grandson's name were Joseph, you could call that Joseph's hoody of many colors. Now that was silly, I know. Coat of many colors was my thought though when I saw it. I know what you mean about finishing a project and starting another. It always give you a sense of accomplishment. Keep on knittin' and quiltin' and have fun.
Wow! Is this your first quilt? Amazing!!
Aw, the hoodie is cute!
