You came 2nd in a knitting competition -and won £1.50

I have been knitting a cable knit jumper for a few weeks. I enjoy knitting as you can easily pick it up and put it down again. Anyway, I heard that they were short of entries for the Allotment Society show so I decided to enter my jumper. At the time it needed sewing together (the bit I hate) so I spent Friday evening at Guides doing that. I entered and came 2nd! The winner was also a cable knit but much finer and almost certainly more carefully sewn. Next year I will allow myself more time - and aim to win.
