Arizona State Fair Results




One handspun got first place and best in show.  I've never won best in show before.  I'm happy to have gotten both for this yarn.  I really like how it turned out and I'm glad the judges like it too.



My green handspun yarn got third place and the other yarn didn't place.


For my knitting, my socks got first place.  Second and third place went to my friend so I was happy for her.


My purple handspun shawl didn't place but I can't wait to get it back since it was knitted with the handspun that got first place last year.
