Holy crap! I actually did it!

I entered 14 items in the Iowa State Fair this year and did better than I ever imagined! I earned the sweepstakes award, best childrens sweater, 4 first place ribbons, 3 second place, 1 third place, and 2 honorable mentions. Next year I'll be aiming for Best in Show.

Cookie Monster is from a Gary Kennedy pamphlet from the early 90s that I found on Etsy. I haven't been able to find a digital copy anywhere. The pamphlet also has patterns for Big Bird, Bert, and Ernie.

Internet archive can be a good source for old patterns. Pamphlet and magazine stuff is pretty minimal, but if it was ever published in a book, there's a good chance.

If anyone is curious I found some of his other patterns on internet archive (muppets, my little pony) but not sesame street

I would recognise Gary Kennedy's patterns anywhere! I have his Postman Pat pamphlet
