I've been using your blog as inspiration for my Tomten, which is coming in a strange size. Anyway, I've got the same question as Nancy, about the hood. I've done the 28 ridges (with my proportions, it is 36), and am not sure whether it is 28 after increases or 28 with the increases. How did you do it? (if you remember....) thanks a lot, angeles Hi there,

I love your tomten! I'm knitting one right now and I'm hoping you can help me. The pattern says to work a short RIDGE. Does that mean that two rows need to be short rows, or does it mean a short row and then a regular row? If you could advise, I would really appreciate it! Thanks. - Heather in Washington Hi there!

I join the ranks in admiring your tomtom. I am making one now and wonder... Is the hood a total of 28 ridges or 28 AFTER the increases? and.... what was your stitches per inch.. I am making one now at 5 sts per inch and it is tiny... thank you again for sharing. don't you just love that Paton's merino. It is one of my favorite yarns. and last but not least. is that applied i-cord edging? It's the prettiest one. . Hi! I join the ranks in admiring your tomtom.

I think it's the combination of the colors and the toggle button that catch my eye; it looks much more modern and fresh than I imagined it would. Thanks for the inspiration... might have to make one for my own little baba. This Tomten turned out so cute!

It's so cute (as is the wearer!) I'm wondering what size needles you used and how many skeins total? The yarn specs in the book are a bit vague! I'd love to make one for my 3-year old. Thanks!

I don't think that I would have thought of the combo - or pulled it off as well as you did. It looks awesome... and holy cow! The Mag is looking so very grown-up and pretty!
