I chose a pattern from the January 2009 issue of Creative Knitting. It is called Cables & Lace Tunic and is designed by Susan Shildmyer. Ms. Shildmyer can also be found on Ravelry.
While knitting this lovely tunic, with 100% Donegal Tweed wool by Tahki, I decided to leave the pockets out and make the 4-stitch cable twist in the opposite direction on either side of the large centered gorgeous cable. I was able to complete the tunic in 8 days with a little over 8 hanks.
And. Here I am. This was taken in Yakima, WA at the Make It With Wool State competition. I placed 1st in District in my age category, went to compete in State and placed 3rd out of 6. The winners will go to the National Competition in San Antonio, TX in January 2013.
I had the best of time.....meeting the other contestants and getting to tell some of my stories to people who haven't heard them yet!
