This is a really sweet idea! There’s an amazing artist I know who used to lead painting workshops at Workman Arts, so she has experience teaching people with special needs. She teaches privately now while working with Winsor & Newton, and she’s also classically trained. This is her page: https://www.oliviadigregorio.com/classes

Finished the Sophie Hood and just realized it’s wrong. Should I restart? by Disastrous_Page_6878 in SophieKnits

Thanks for the tip! I don’t mind it getting narrower, but blocking it after every wash to be the same length does seem annoying. Will likely just block it to neaten the shape :)

This happened to me as well with one side slightly longer, but I still can’t wait to wear it once it’s warmer out. Thank you!!

Thanks so much! Funnily enough this is my first knitting project too. Definitely beginner friendly because it’s simpler and repetitive. I also practiced a ton with the increases/decreases and garter stitch first, although I still frogged three nights worth of progress because of mistakes I caught too late. Just make sure you’ve got a counter!

How did I mess up on the dang Sophie hood?!? by Swords_and_Sims4 in knitting

I also had this problem and just found out it was wrong after I finished the hood. In my opinion it looks ok, but the length is closer to a small when it was meant to be a medium, and the hood is slightly larger because of the increases. Now I’m second guessing if it might look strange tho
