Sam meets Sue

Sam the Ram meets Sue the Ewe. I did a Sam several years ago and he came out really badly. I put him away and knit Sue and that wee little shawl. I did Sam again as my main Olympics project. The pattern part came out almost perfectly. The purl stitches that form the background leave a lot to be desired in several places.

The yarn I did them in is called fingering, but I think it's closer to a sport weight. I think I'll do them both again in laceweight. I won't be starting them anytime soon, though. Maybe they can be my next Olympics challenge.
