All's Fair at the Fair
I went to the Green County Fair and came back victorious!! For a graduation present in June, I made an ugly sweater that, on my baby sis, is transformed into a thing of beauty. Go figure. I used Lion Band Wool-Ease in a blend of colors guaranteed to camouflage anything she spilled on it, machine washable, and oh-so-quick to knit! First time I ever made a sweater, and I learned a couple new things along the way, like twists! Here's the thing: I slapped it together in a couple weeks, sewed the seams using the ends of the yarn, and didn't even bother weaving in my ends. I didn't follow the neck pattern and fiddled with it to make it a little bigger so it wouldn't smoosh her hair which I should NOT have been doing because I don't know what I'm doing. I also ignored the gauge (which I should not have done) and knit it tighter so it was warmer. When I dropped it off for judging I found a lose bit of yarn I forgot and I had to take apart a child's first aid
