To Kitchener or not to Kitchener........
......in other words, Do I like my hair in my head as opposed to pulling it out and throwing it on the floor?
WOO HOO!!! My hood is done....well the knitted part anyway. So, all that I have left is to sew on the sleeves, do the button band, and sew the top of the hood together. But here is the thing.....
....I haven't bound off the hood yet. Why? Because I am actually considering Kitchenering it together. Normally, this doesn't phase me too much, but is always plain stockinette. Here, folks, we have some ribbing. So.....yeah.....
Am I crazy? I know it will be hard and liquor will probably have to be involved, but I know it will probably look 10x better. That, and I have a feeling that a three-needle BO will just bug the hell out of me. Will I see it? Yes, I have been known to use the hood on a hoodie so I will see it more than those who merely use it for show. I dunno.....anyone have any suggestions? Tips?
I gotta give a shout out to my homegirl who finished her CPNSH. I think her's turned out great, even though she cheated and put a zipper in. Now I'm gonna have to find buttons.......

CHEATED?!? Hey, I took the high road. Sewing on a few measly buttons would have been *way* easier. :)
You know, I think that Weez kitchenered the hood together on her CPH. Maybe ask for pointers?
Kitchener, hands down. Kitchener is actually very simple - just follow the knitty article (the best reference for how to do it by far), singalong "knit slip purl; purl slip knit" and you'll do just fine! :)
