From Susan — 1 Day and Cow-nting!

Filed under: Updates — lv2knit @ 7:27 am


…until the Minnesota State Fair!  Corn dogs, Pronto Pups, alligator-on-a-stick.   You name it and you’ll find it at the Great Minnesota Get Together! 

One of the really exciting things you will find ::cough::cough:: — not on a stick I hope — is moi!  I will be staffing the Minnesota Knitters Guild section of the craft booth in the Creative Activities Building from 1-3 pm on opening day tomorrow.  Please stop and say “hi” if you are hanging around looking at the ribbon-festooned knitting. 

I did enter a few smaller items this year and will certainly not be taking the world by storm, but it is always a fun place to hang around.  Especially the first day when all of the hard cores come out to see the knitting. 

If you do stop by, please say your name as I have NO MEMORY lately and need all the help I can get!!

  1. Ooh, I’ll try to make it. I’ve lived in St. Paul my whole life and have never gone to the fair (blasphemy!). I was planning on going to check out the knitting this year.

  3. I’ll say HI! from afar and wait for your and The Heathen Housewife’s reports. Just got done with our county fair this past weekend. Enjoy!

  5. Oh! I just love state fairs! They remind me of my childhood 4-H days (where I participated in sewing, knitting, cooking, and gardening — but not livestock). I had such fun. I hope your entries come out on top! 🙂

  6. Hi Susan,
    Congratulations on your several first place wins! Nicely done. The sweater I entered this year just didn’t feel like a blue ribbon winner, and unfortunately, I was right. I got a second place for it. Not the Sophomore slump, but the Junior one I guess. 🙂
