…but oh, my aching knees (we have wood floors). Kneeling around the bulletin board brandishing a yardstick is a little rough, but I am very pleased with the result:
The weather is supposed to be warm tomorrow, even in our neighborhood, so perhaps this will dry by Thursday night. That would indeed be nice.
Because this is a hoodie, the back neck is left completely straight. You start knitting the hood from the live stitches. Well, part of the live stitches. The rest of them are for the shoulders. You can see I did not cut the yarn balls off the two parts yet. I am waiting to see if I like the hood before I cut (anything to avoid weaving in more ends than absolutely necessary).

It looks great! But you might want to consider binding off the neck stitches where the hood will go, and then picking up from the bound-off edge. Necklines using live stitches don’t have much stability, and with the weight of a hood on it might get really stretched out of shape.
