Great to be joining you here! This hoodie pattern has been on my to-do list since it came out last fall, and I finally cast on for it last weekend. I'm using Black Water Abbey Two-Ply Worsted in Pippin and US 7 Addi 24" circs.
I'm enjoying this knit - you can read more about it on my blog - even though I'm having twinges of doubt about how small it's knitting up. (I've followed what a lot of you recommended, and am knitting a larger size, but even so I already know I'll be blocking the heck out of it to make it fit.) I'm trying not to fret too much, though, as I'm 9" up the back and have to keep knitting!

Welcome to the KAL. I read the details on your blog. The progress is amazing. It took you one night to complete what took me 4 days....but, I had 2 hats that distracted me in between. The color is wonderful as well. Keep up the good work. Blocking should make all of your sizing fears go away. Don't worry about the ribbing. Once blocked, it will be a whole new sweater. It looks great!!!
I hear about about the size----I'm planning on blocking the daylights out of it----
Then maybe I'll stop eating? Get a b**b-job?
