behold!

we got SLEEVE!!!

oh make that 2 ~~~ sleeves!

it was debatable! but only because (i think) the pattern sleeves are too short for the year/times ~ i added about 2" ~ it's nice to have extra sleeve ~ dontchathink?? especially for kids ~ you can always roll them up!

big baggy saggy pants are another thing! tho i gotta admit ~ it is hilarious when driving by and the guy's pants sink to his knees!!! (i have yet to see one trip and fall - still hoping!)

WHATEVER! ~~ i knit using both ends of the skein and had to steal some yarn from the first sleeve to make the second the same length - good thing i hadn't CUT the yarn :) but see my other issue???? that is ALL the green i have left :P ~~ the hood color will have to be started earlier than the hood

anywhoooooo............am glad to have tested this pattern in a smaller size before starting my own "wallaby" - i don't care for picking up the pouch stitches - it is hard to follow the row of knitting.......so for mine, i'll knit across with the pouch yarn and then the yarn/stitches will be there and ready for "powch" time!!!

there was another modification but i'm clueless at the moment ~ as usual!
