WIP Wednesday: Shark Attack!

Back in March, I decided to knit a pair of toddler sweaters. The first on, The Teddy Bear was made quickly, but other projects got in the way of the second shark-inspired hoodie. Well, after reading some inspiring knitting books and realizing that I, too, can design my own projects I decided to finally cast on.
Here is my shoddy rough draft drawing of the sweater in question:

The design is still in the works (Read: I'm not entirely sure I can make the hood thing happen, and that is an awful lot of teeth to  consider) but I've done quite a bit of knitting already.
This will be my first time designing a sweater knit flat with set-in sleeves, and I was hoping to use it to practice my seaming skills.

I finished the back in one evening and decided to work both fronts up to "about" where I plan on starting the neck shaping so that both pieces are the same length. I'm nearly to that point.

(P.S. See how uneven my knitting is? That's why I never knit flat- but I recently learned how to make perfectly even flat knitting! But since I did my swatch a long time ago I did it the ugly way for simplicity. This is just a prototype anyways.)


So that's where I'm at with this little project. I still have some maths to do for the sleeve cap shaping, and then it's just finishing finishing finishing. Which, no matter what, there will be a ton of thanks to the zipper, the teeth, and the possible crazy sharky hood.

That's the fun part, anyways. ;)
