Mommy22alyns Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I'm so proud of myself, I have to show this on every board I'm on.... :D It's on the hanger crooked (which is driving me NUTS!), but it's a duster sweater I knitted myself, and I won first place in the Advanced Knitted Sweater category at our county fair. Just had to share - I never win anything, so even a $10 prize is huge to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, I'm not that good! :001_smile: The pattern is from Interweave Knits last year - http://www.interweaveknits.com/preview/2007_fall.asp I love purple, and I fell in love with the sweater. It actually went really fast and wasn't hard at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChemMommy Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 That's a really cute sweater and a LOT of knitting to get done! Your ribbing looks nice and tight on the collar, which would have been an easy place to have looser, stretched-out ribbing. The diagonal lines on the front are sharp, too! I can see why you won; that's a great piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
