I go away with my knitting girlfriends, they are all my "friends", every October for a knitting festival,
When you attend the festival, you are suppose to wear a sweater that you have either knit or crocheted.
I am not a sweater knitter but this year I was determined to wear a sweater that I knit.
I started it in January, plenty of time, right,
and was doing really well until I hit the hard part around the neck.
I had made several mistakes and knew it was time to bring in a professional, Leanne.
I scheduled a lesson and she helped me so much and I was back on track, at least I thought so.
I need to make this long story short, I have had a host of problems, I had to bring in another helper,
the very lovey Mandy....
But I think I am advancing with confidence!
I have this book where I record when I start and finish a project,
I also include a strip of the yarn!
It is on the website and will be featured on all the signs, the program and all the gear...
bags, mugs, tee shirts, sweatshirts, pins...
This is her second win, her logo won 2 years ago.
I am so excited, less than 8 weeks to go...I may be wearing a vest!

Hello,
Your sweater is looking good, it feels good when you know you are advancing. The logo for the festival is really cute! Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
The sweater looks beautiful! You’ll have that done for sure!
That's exciting Debbie and I admire your stick-to-it-ness. It looks beautiful, will look beautiful! Love the logo for the festival too. I look forward to the day you take a photo for us of you wearing it.
Also meant to say what a great idea recording everything and leaving a string of wool that you used.
so glad you are able to get some help with your sweater, I never have made a sweater myself.You may want to keep it a vest, unless it decides to really cool down between now and then :). So fun to have something to look forward to going to!
