Camp Hoodie - almost done

The camp hoodie has been done for a couple of weeks, but could not locate a separating zipper in the length and color needed, so I had to custom order it from Custom Zips.  Obviously, the zipper has not arrived, but here is a peek at the otherwise completed hoodie.  I really love it!  I planned this as alternate outerwear for my walks.  I am now looking forward to having winter return to North Texas.   I promise more pix when it has a zipper.   By the way, I used Spud and Chloe's colorways Chipmunk and Watermelon. 

The kangaroo pocket came out great!  I used the Wonderful Wallaby pattern as my inspiration for the pocket -- splitting it down the middle, of course.  Husker is suitably impressed with this project.

Camp Hoodie knit-along

Although I am doing the Camp Hoodie knit-along sponsored by Spud & Chloe yarns, I suspect that I am going to be the last one finished.  Everyone else began before we left for Jamaica on January 28th.  I held off until we returned home.  I had to make the long drive to Dallas to get the Spud & Chloe yarn (Chipmunk colorway) from the Shabby Sheep.  I finally was able to start, but it has been slow going.  I kept getting tendonitis and would have to rest my hands, wrists for a couple of days and start again.  I am getting close to the end, now.  I have adjusted the pattern to use the zip-front version, and have added wallaby pockets.  The hood has about 3 inches to go, then I will add the rib trim to the armholes and along the front opening and hood.   Here is the progress to date:
