Easter eggs

I have a lot to do with my olympic project, but I found interesting picture in my archive. The pattern is made with wax. I have a pin fatened into old pencil, pinhead is put into hot wax and then it make print on the egg. Egg is coloured in cold colour and wax then removed.
It is traditional in Czech republic (my home), but traditional patterns are more compicated and more beautifull then my eggs.

I spend whole weekend with needles and yarn and I still feel that I have a lot to do. Smal parts are for sleeves, big one for front and back part of pullover.
I wonder if I didn´t something wrong: I wanted to teach my nephew (six years old, she will be next owner of this pullover) something about knitting and we use this project. And she made about five or seven stitches herself without my help. Is not it problem? Didn´t I broke rules? I am afraid that I will be disqualified!

My project for Olympic knitting - modular knitting

All pullover ought to consist of those squares. I made four squares for first row separately, second row is cast in previous, so I don´t have to sew them together.
I hate to sew together a lot of smal pieces.
