I love the color of the sweater. And I don't think I'd pick apart the
hood, it does have built in growing room now. Unlike the hooded sweater I
made my daughter last year: the hood wasn't tall enough and I had made it
of Red Heart Baby Clouds yarn (can't tell one stitch from another) and just
didn't have the energy to try to pick it out and fix it. At least as he
gets a little taller over the next few months, his hood will still fit.

I've finally managed to get a couple of shots of my boy wearing his
Wallaby. For those of you who have made this, what do you think of
picking up stitches from the inside, say just below the bottom of the
placket, and knitting in a second layer that doubles as a turtleneck
type thing? Yesterday was (uncharacteristically) chilly and he wanted
to wear the sweater to school, but complained that it didn't keep his
neck warm.

I can tell (now) that the hood is too large, so I may pick out the
seam and rip it back a few inches. Note I said *may*, I have plenty
of other knitting on my plate right now, including October squares
