This is something I have been wanting to do for a while but have not been confident enough to do. Finally I decided to just suck it up and enter something into the Gold Coast Show Homecrafts Competition.
I chose to compete in the Needlecraft section in section 36 - A sleeveless vest for a toddler or infant.
Needles: 4mm straights
Wool: Holiday 8 ply in Navy
Start/Finish Date: 3.8.11 - 23.8.11
I am really happy with how this turned out. It was actually pretty fast to knit up and would have taken be less time if I didn't stop for a week and a bit between knitting the front piece and knitting the back piece.
Corey asked me what I am going to do with it after the show. I can't decide whether to give it to someone as a gift or whether to keep it for the futures. I think it would look super cute one day on our future son with a white collared shirt underneath. I think I might have to keep it!
Wow, how cute is this!?! I think you should hold on to it for a while too ;o)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Knitting looks so hard. All that fancy cable knit looks ultra complicated. One day I'll learn!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely keep it! Good luck! (Are all show categories so specific??)
