A variation on the 'classic'

I still remember when I made the very first 'Baby Hoodie'. It will be 6 years this fall. My cousin's wife just had the first baby in the family and I wanted to make something special (that wasn't a blanket, lol). I stayed up all night knitting that hoodie. My cousin loved it! So did everybody else. In fact, her sister who had a baby a month later, insisted that I make one for her newborn. I've only met her once at that point, and I don't like being told what to do, so I made her something else, ha!

As time went on, I had kids, my friends had kids, and many more hoodies were made. Then, when my second one was born, I joined a mommy group with kids the same age, and they all wanted one! That's when I said, "sorry ladies, but I've got a newborn, no time for knitting free stuff for everyone". Some of the moms offered to pay (I'm game with that, lol) and suggested that, when I have more free time, I start selling them. So, nearly one and a half years later, here I am with my very own business. The hoodie is my favorite thing to make, but I love knitting in general, so I like to try different things from time to time.

Now, the original hoodie has a very specific look to it (and is copyright protected, so don't bother stealing it!), but I thought I'd try a different look. Here is the 'Simplicity Collection':
