This was my knitted sweater for the OK State Fair and it came in first place. It is the India Print Henley from the book, "The Knitters Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters," by Ann Budd. I've never done a top-down sweater before, so I of course had to pick one of the hardest ones. I got the yarn as trade from the lady who spun the yarn for the gloves I entered. She gave me a ton of this grey sock yarn in exchange for knitting some socks for her. I think I got the better deal as I got a first place sweater and I just finished some knee highs from it as well. I really like the look of this sweater but again, I made the sleeves slightly too long. I'm really good about making long arms.
