Albion Park Show - Success!

I went to Albion Park Show this morning to see how my knitting went, and I was so happy with the results. I am thinking already about what to knit for next year's show.

The spiral scarf and these bootees didn't get a look in at the show.

The child's jumper and stacked stone mittens won 1st Place.

The 3 piece baby set won 1st place and the alpaca bootees won 2nd place.

The baby shawl won 1st place and Albion Park Show Champion - wow I am happy with that.

So now back to reality....and what I am knitting now.

I started on the Salty Peanuts Cardigan which I started a few years back and it got pushed aside or down deep which I think was more the case, well most of my UFO's are on the study/craft room floor and as I really would like to see more floor it seemed the perfect thing to get out and finish. I did a few rows on Thursday night....not really loving it now and I realised I may not have enough yarn to finish it....so what does a girl do....Yeap....frogs it...more like a rip though.

So now on the needles with the same alpaca yarn is a top down jumper...feeling OK about this pattern so far....the pattern is Dunes Jumper. And being a knit in the round, there won't be any seams to sew up when I finish knitting...gotta love that.
