My Trench Coat

Submitted by Crochet Collection on 6 December 2007 - 7:10pm. Categorized As:

This is my first HUGE crochet project! The pattern was featured in the Feb/Mar '07 issue of Crochet Today magazine, and was designed by Melissa Leapman. It took me 1 month to make(It would have taken much longer, except I was on a TIGHT schedule!). I made it for our state Make it With Wool contest. I am very proud of myself, as the judges couldn't find any mistakes on it! I got 1st place with it, and I'm moving on to the Nat'l MIWW contest in January, where I get to compete for the title of U.S. Junior Wool Ambasador!

Mom and dad have no idea how the judges could have judged that contest. Infact, the judges told us they wished they could have gone to work instead of judged us! There were 30 girls in the entire contest, and everyone did a great job with their projects. There was only one other girl that crocheted something, and she made a skirt, top and hat. The looked pretty cool!

That's the problem with judging projects people have put so much work into. You know they are all good or they wouldn't have made it to the national level! A different day or even one different judge and you could have been in first place! You just never know! Kudos to all the finalists and the judges!
