Right after work automat76 and I ran up to the fair to see how I fared (ha!) in the knitting competion.

I'm more than happy!!!!


My Bad Penny sweater took nothing in the sweater category, but the things that placed were amazing.

My capelet took 3rd in the original design category:



And my afghan, my sister's wedding gift, took 1st place in knitted afghans, and Best in Show in the Afghan class!!! Woo-hoo!!!




There have been several of you on my friends list who've not fared so well at the county level. My advice: enter the state fair. Their judges seem to have a better idea of what they're doing, across craft categories. No fun fur scarves and badly executed things were winning here.

Hey congratulations. Those are both awesome, especially the blanket. Eat fried fudge on a stick for me! I miss the fair :(

Thanks! I actually just passed up the fried fudge last night, in favor of gross fair french fries, which are my personal fave.

My life has never been as complete and fulfilled as the moment I first bit into deep fried fudge on a stick.
