Barbara asked if I entered anything in the fair this year (thanks for asking, Barbara!!). Usually I post right away but this time I forgot!! I entered quite a few smaller projects. I got 5 blue ribbons (3 in regular knitting, 2 in senior), 1 second, 2 thirds, and a 4th (a couple did not win anything 🙂 ). Some of my entries were a from last year, but placed in different competitions.
The displays leave a lot to be desired!!
Winston, Snowfall (Peppermint Stick), and Briocherub won blues. Snowfall also won a special MKG award.
Big Love won a 3rd place ribbon (the color is much prettier IRL), and Pickpocket a 4th.
Time Trades won a blue in the senior category.
PS regarding the Splashdown Cowl I wrote about: Apparently some of you are having trouble finding it on The Yarnery website. Call them directly to ask about it (651-222-5793). They have more yarn, but will not be restocking so they aren’t listing it on the site.
SENIOR category??? Does it take advanced gymnastics to knit a shawl? Otherwise, congratulations on everything you won.
