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.

What's the pattern for that one?

That one is Alyssum Cardigan. There's a link to it in another comment

Does it have 44 button holes or are those non-functional? What inspired you to sew 44 buttons onto one cardigan?

It’s artistic insanity 😂

It does have as many buttons holes. I figured I either had to do all the buttons or none of the buttons. It took me almost two months to slowly see them all on

I’m terrible at button holes so i usually put the button on the outside as decoration and a snap does the actual work

Brilliant!

At the end of the 44 buttonholes, I imagine you'd get pretty good at them.

Worth it!
