Ravelympics medalist

I finished my Ravelympics sweater!



It is the Mason-Dixon Perfect Sweater, now without sleeves so I could actually get it done, plus about three inches in body length (it could have used four, I'm tall), short-row bust shaping, and a little colorwork detail.

That's very cute! Is that little picot trimming? Adorable!

Yup! I am now going to have to make my saving throw against using it on everything. Manly sweater? Picot hem. Washcloth? Picot hem. Socks? Picot hem...well, that's not so bad.

Oh, it's so cute on socks. The other super cute sock border I've recently discovered is a fold-over hem. It's plain, yet somehow so charming. Stockinette for 5 rows, purl round, stockinette 5 more rows, then knit the cast-on edge together with the next row. Tidy! Well, heck, that's probably how you did your picots, isn't it? Except with actual picot-ing. ;)

Hee! That's pretty much how I did the brim for Dalek Hat, only I was doing K2P2 ribbing either side of the 3 purl rows for the turn.
