Birthday hoodie for my daughter!

Yarn: Purl Soho Daily Wool Sport (blue) & Malabrigo Arroyo (pink)

No pattern for this one, just some rambling notes on the Ravelry project that explain the process, and I included the charts I made for the body, sleeves and hood. This is year four of knitting birthday sweaters for my wife and daughters. My younger daughter wanted a hoodie and mentioned several times that she loved this pink yarn that I had left over from her sister's sweater from a few years back, but other than that I had creative control over this one. I had just over a skein of the pink yarn, so my solution was to use it as a contrasting color, and I love how it turned out! I made a hoodie for myself a few years back, so I was able to use some of what I did with that one, plus a few new ideas that I detailed in the notes, but please let me know if you have any questions on anything I did!
