Awhile back Knitty held a contest in conjunction with the book launch “Spin Control” by Amy King. I entered because, I had a brilliant idea – or rather why the hell not? I have been spinning and knitting for some time now, and I thought it was high time I do something with it.
So I entered, not expecting much. I never win anything. EVER.
Weeks later, to my surprise, I receive the e-mail stating that I have won second. Me – I won something! Well, only second, but still! “Second Place Winner” still has the word Winner in it right?
Here are some pictures from my entry. I will be reformatting the pattern to release here on my blog at a later (hopefully soon) time. I also sent in an article submission about gradient carding commercial top that I will also post in the future.

ok, you were robbed. that is so much nicer than the first prize winner!
Congratulations! Yep, you should have gotten first place. I never win anything.
That is beautiful! I third the motion that you should have gotten first. I’d love to hear about your gradient process, I want to try it!

Do you get an error? It is rather large…I tried to keep the size down, but couldn’t manage to get it to be as small as other patterns I’ve seen.
