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!

Same Old Song

Trying to finish some projects, trying not to start new projects, trying to stop signing up for test knits and trying to get some spinning in.

I did managed to finish my Rhinebeck Hat.

It still needs to be washed and blocked.

I started another test knit.  I wanted to use some of the lovely yarn I won from Backyard Fiberworks.

I see another test knit that I want to do for AMBAH and I have the perfect yarn for it.

I joined another KAL.  I got yarn for this shawl for Christmas.

I've managed to finish a pair of socks but not from the same pair.  I got one of each done. LOL!

I got yarn.  It was my birthday this month so of course that involves getting yarn.

My latest handspun and what is on the wheel right now.

Spinning and Knitting

I've been spinning a rainbow.  I was running out of space on my bobbin so I had to break it up into 2.  It's thicker then my usually spinning and more nubs from the fiber.

I finished one of my test knits and working on another.  I need to stop signing up for them.  I will be sample knitting so that will put some of my projects on the back burner.  I so need to finish up some gifts and work on my business plan!

Yes, I Have a Problem

I'm almost done a test knit and I'm going to start another one today.

I'm on the last mosaic section of the Optimist Shawl test knit and then just a last lace section.

This is another Ambah design.  It's suppose to be knitted with a solid and gradient yarn.  I'm going to start with the brown, use the red for the bobbles and then finish off with the blue.
