Time to start blogging again
Here we go, my first update in nearly 3 months. I could make excuses as to why I haven't blogged, but mainly it's because Ravelry sucks up a lot of time and because I wasn't knitting much. I became really annoyed with the damn shawl, because the border was long, boring and never ending. It sat stagnant for about 2 months. That is until the month before the fair. Then I had to kick my knitting into high gear. I work better under pressure, I'll be the first to admit that. Finally, the shawl was completed and I managed to whip up a pair of baby booties and a felted bag in time for the fair. Over all I had 8 entries.
Once again, the Rona shawl/tablecloth did not win (this time it was entered in the Misc. catagory). Whatever. I'm over it, or so I keep telling myself.
My hat and scarf didn't get a ribbon either. Nor did my Bar Harbor bag. But someone with different colors and the same pattern did get a 3rd place ribbon. Here's my bag.
I did get 5 ribbons though.
My booties came in 4th.
My Dickinson Pullover also got a 4th place ribbon.
I ended up with THREE blue ribbons!!
First, for my Twisted Flower socks.
Then for my baby sweater.
And finally for the damn shawl. Mom and Nana came over to help me block it the day before I turned it in. This bastard is BIG.
Now I'm in the process of picking out next year's entries. Guess I better start getting to work!!

Hey, Holly! Bet you thought I feel off the planet!! I sorta did - well, the knitting planet at least. We'll have to get together some time and I'll tell you all about it.
Congratulations on kicking all that old lady ass - your shawl is amazing!! I feel so proud since I saw you slave on it :)

I like your Bar Harbor bag. Can't believe the hat and scarf were over looked. Congrats on everything else!
