One more brag

I entered a sweater in the Rhinebeck finished item competition. This is the first year I've ever entered anything in a competition, let alone two. But since I'd never done a fully handspun sweater before, I decided to enter them. I got First place in the category, Best Knitted Item and Best in Show for the sweater! I've attached a photo of it with all the ribbons. Better photos are on Ravelry. The Best of Show ribbon is longer than the sweater itself! I'm pretty pleased -- Jaya |

Thank you all! It is lovely and soft and cuddly and warm - I think from the baby camel in it.? I’m sorry I missed you Laura and Steph. I’m afraid I only ventured out of the workshop building in very short bursts. As one of my fellow volunteers said - “there’s too many people out there!” when she came back. I did a bit more walking around Sunday mid-day when the crowds were a bit lighter but even then I just went to see the booths I had marked off as wanting to see.? I took a drum carding class with the Clemes family and really learned a lot. I bought 1 ring distaff, a hair brush cleaner for cleaning my drum carder, a box of tea and some fudge! ツ Mostly just checked in students, helped teachers, setup and replenished/cleaned up the refreshments and hung out with my fellow volunteers. I did a lot of people watching out of the windows and looked for y’all heading to the restrooms by the first aid station but didn’t see you.

Stunning sweater, Jaya, congratulations! I went to Revelry coping for a modeled photo and was happy to find it. Looks great on you, wear it with joy! Therese On Mon, Oct 23, 2023, 21:00 <beryl_cathro@...> wrote: Wow, that is very brag worthy and deserves the ribbons. |

Thanks! Yes, I was a bit afraid of the fit. The sweater schematics show a very tight upper arm for me and I had already gone up a size as recommended by the designer. I emailed with her and her solutions didn't work for me - she wanted me to start with the larger size and divide the sts differently between the body and sleeves. But I needed to drop the armhole a bit anyway because I like roomy armholes. I realized that doing those few more rows before splitting for sleeves and body brings that top of the sleeve down a bit and at that point the measurement fit. When you steek the body and sleeves and knit them together, you don't really get a chance to try it on fully till you've cut and sewn the steeks. So it is a bit of a risk. But I was measuring and was a bit looser on gauge so I figured it would work out. On Tue, Oct 24, 2023 at 10:35?AM Therese Shere <therese.shere@...> wrote:
