this is a test.......wallaby!

ta da!!! ok, so it's not perfect ~ that's the whole reason it's a "test" wallaby!

my notes:

1. at pouch, work with both yarns ~ even if not changing colors for pouch ~ keeps a working yarn there and uniform stitches to pick up

2. love the garter hood! love the 1" of k1p1 at neck to make the hood lay down when not worn...........but...but....but ~~ turn hood pieces inside out to garter kitchener ~ puts the seam inside ~ or try 3 needle bind off

ran out of the color again ~ should have done the hood in all PURPLE!

3. at underarm kitchener ~~ pick up extra stitches around ~~ makes prettier, no holes, non bulky

4. do one round of reverse single crochet entire hood and placket front ~ looks more "finished"

oh and i did the size 4 ~~ maybe my yarn (it was LionBrand Woolease from stash) was not TRUE worsted ~ this looks small ~ maybe size 2???

okey dokey ~~~ now i can buy yarn for MY size!!

know any little girl that might need an imperfect "test" wallaby??? this has too much purple to put on C D B!!
