I am almost done with the hood on the Circus pullover. A warning, if anyone decides to make this pattern (it is one of the JCA/Artful yarn patterns, it's the Circus Hooded Pullover by Norah Gaughan): it is taking almost every inch of yarn I have, AND I bought an extra ball (I am making the next-to-the-largest size).

So if you plan on this, buy an extra ball of the yarn.

It irks me that patterns often underestimate the amount of yarn. I'd rather have extra left over than run out, as it can be a year or more before I get to start a sweater after buying the yarn.

and tomorrow, I'm off. I so need this break.
