    Congratulations on a blue ribbon! Was there time to block it or did you enter it right off the needles?

    Bravo!! I really like that one. I think it's the first dark, solid BSJ I've seen, and it inspires me to (finally) knit one.

    Way to go! Congrats! I love the way it looks with a collar. Does your pattern include the how-to or is it your addition? Nice job!

    Yea! Congrats on the ribbon. I'm taking my first ever entry to the fair this year. I'm a bit nervous. I was looking at it on Saturday and I need to re-block it before Saturday. g
