State Fair Results

Happy Dance!

The Lady's Circular Cape in Shell Pattern got 1st Place and Best of Division!! The division is "Knitting", so yeah, it was judged best of all knitted things. :D



Judges comments:

Wow! This is a beautiful shawl, and knitted beautifully. Well done.

You might remember the story about this project, it's the one where I played yarn-chicken and won.



Here it is modeled by Diana and styled by Rick at this year's Stitches West. The yarn is Valley Yarns Colrain Lace from WEBS.



The Must Have Cardigan got 4th place, so it will be shown as well. Hey, it's in Valley Yarns Northampton from WEBS. How about that?

Judges comments:

Beautiful soft sweater. Perfect ribbing - nice touch with different buttons.

They'll be on display next month.

It's Hand Knit Friday and the debut of the Must Have Cardigan! This is a great sweater pattern from Patons and it's perfect match for Valley Yarns Northampton from WEBS. I lengthened the sleeve ribbing so they could be folded back, but I could have added one more inch. I also lengthened the body and mirrored the cables.

It's Aloha Hand Knit Friday! What hand knits are you wearing today?

This Hand Knit Friday is a little different for me. I'm showing you all the hand knits I brought but can't wear due to the weather: Matsudana socks, Zingiber socks, and the Basket Stitch Hemp Cardigan. You're also getting a sneak peek at my latest project in Lisa Souza's Deluxe Sock! in Keep Tahoe Blue.
