ravelympics medalist

I would like to proudly show off my finished projects that I entered into the Ravelympics 2010.  I am a medalist for two of my projects (which means I completed them!)


Medal for my Tiny Turtle and for my Rubber Duckie Baby Hoodie!

Here is my completed baby hoodie.

The buttons are little duckies. I started this hoodie March 31, 2009 and finished it February 28, 2010.  There was no excuse except for my laziness.  This was my second baby sweater and I admit I hated doing it.  I got sick of the pattern and I really got bored with the finishing.  I'm glad it is over with!

One thing I would like to share is the creation of the buttonhole band.  See, the original pattern was a misprint and so only 3 buttonholes were made on the top half, even though the pattern photo featured buttons all the way down.  So after the sweater was knitted, I picked up stitches with a needle 1 size larger.  I just knitted two rows then spaced yarnovers for the buttonholes. I knitted one more row then bound off.  The buttons fit perfectly. =)

I never got the lining sewn in to my purse.  Oh well I think the baby sweater was a good enough accomplishment, and at least I got 2 out of 3.  Now I guess it's back to work on my FLS and my crocheted squares. (rav links)

Thanks for checking out my progress!
