Not that I needed another sweater on my to-knit list or anything...<br /><br />I would recommend putting in a lifeline or temporary bind of and trying on The Oa before deciding how to modify the neckline. Then you can look at where to add some increases for the neckline you want while being sure that it will also fit properly with the modification of removing the hood.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882379160257076434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-90730720894900065842017-04-23T07:36:38.082-07:002017-04-23T07:36:38.082-07:00I agree that I like the look of the hood, but woul...I agree that I like the look of the hood, but would never use it. Even in Minnesota! Love the colors you chose for the stripes.

In other words, it won't be used for a light layer anyway. But if you find hoods uncomfortable and annoying, then skip it. I've seen several knit with varying necklines (oh how I love Ravelry and its collection of projects) and they look good too.Gwennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-51894860116291212172017-04-19T10:15:10.677-07:002017-04-19T10:15:10.677-07:00I like Poolside alot and your colors are pretty; y...I like Poolside alot and your colors are pretty; you need that yellow for the 'pop'!<br />Your cowl is scrumptious - YFY still has those cashmere kits. I get why Kivrin hopped away with your gloves, savvy girl. Now, I need to figure out how to purloin you Oa. Hmm, perhaps your kitty will become my adversary.<br />Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17339740389637433983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105432749747104284.post-21929507514123620732017-04-19T08:18:43.837-07:002017-04-19T08:18:43.837-07:00Looks like you're got some great things on the...Looks like you're got some great things on the go.

(Avoiding looking at them again myself...no yarn until there is knitting time again...soon!) <br /><br />Could you do a shawl collar instead of the hood? I particularly like the shape of this one, though I'm not sure how the asymmetry would pan out on such a geometric sweater: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/shawl-collar-with-a-basket-pattern<br /><br />If you keep the opening fairly small so that it stands up high, it seems like that might give you the cowl-like effect of the hood. The right cowl neck might also do it...<br />http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lush-cowl-neck-sweater<br /><br />Lots of options! Have fun deciding. =)<br /><br />EGunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941668303286640744noreply@blogger.com
