Arizona State Fair 2017 Results

I didn't get a chance this year to go see the fair and see how I place.  I did pretty good.  My handspun got 2 first place and 1 second place.  My knitting got a first place and a fourth place.

It's That Time Again!

Time for County and State Fair.   I'm entering 2 shawls, 1 hat and 3 handspun yarns.  I hope I can get best in show or best spinner for State.  It's going to be hard since I got it 2 in a row already.  Here is a group shot.

The dark shawl is done with my handspun yarn.  It was suppose to be 3 different yarns but I ended up using 6 yarns.  The bright shawl was a shawl I did for a knit along.  I do love it.  It's bright and happy.  The purple hat was last minute.  I had a test knit hat but I thought it wasn't complicated enough.  I love how the cables showed up.  Wish me luck!

Last of the Sample Knits

A sample knit cowl.  I had to send it on waste yarn (ran out before the end of the pattern).

A sample knit hat.  I added a pom pom but didn't take a another picture.  I liked how this came out.

This is a shawl with my handspun yarn.  I hope I don't run out of the red/black.  It takes 3 colors.

This is part of the Kindness KAL.  I need to finish by March.  KnitCircus is donating $5 for every shawl finished.

 Love how this sock blank is knitting up!  It's from Gale's Art.

This is what is on the wheel.  Superwash Merino from Nest.
