http://www.knittingfool.com/pages/topdown.guest.cfm it took one month. could have been less but i got to dog sit and they need alot of attention!! i was glad to give the attention though. no complaints!
PICTURES!
These pictures were taken while hanging out on those rocks, more for the surroundings with a small bit of it being for the hoodie.


front has a pouch and the sleeves, hood and bottom is all hemmed

The back has a fun patch that i bought forever ago and never got around to using. it works wonderfully on the sweater!

Thumb hole and you can see the hem poking through

and for those who want to look...
close up of the pouch i knitted onto the sweater. the only seaming/sewing i did on the sweater was all the hemming and the top of the pouch.
i have never really done this before so i was learning as i go so one of the sides isnt as pretty. i couldnt figure out how to neatly knit the stitches together...
oh and it is evenly sewn across just laying crooked! i swear!
