This year Cherry Tree hill came out with a contest to design a grament using Sock yarn and win $1000. I wanted to design something. I had a head full of ideas and tried lots of designs but I never really managed anything amazing.When I met Mary Tanti at the Knitting retreat in March she whipped up a little multi directional Teddy bear sweater and then recited the pattern to me from memory. I knew then that she could do this yarn justice and probably win this contest. I got her all the yarn and away she went. We sent the finished sweater to Cherry Tree Hill last week and today I got a call from Cheryl Potter. She loves the sweater and feels it is a winner. The contest is still open for a few more weeks but I am hopeful that Mary will win.
If the sweater wins she will take it to the TNNA and it will be in the fashion show. WOW. I asked Cheryl if I could blog about this. She said sure so I want as many people who read this to leave a comment on what you think about Mary's sweater. Maybe it will help her win. maybe Cheryl will read the comments.
We are rooting for you Mary !!!!!
The socks are something she whipped up with the left overs.
Good Luck Mary
