(Sorry about the crummy picture it was hard to get a good shot.)
Hers were locked up in a glass case. Mine of coarse was sitting right out there for someone to take.
We have a fun time knitting, ribbons or not, it's just icing on our "cakes of knits." 
Well done :D
ReplyDeleteNice work all around! And thanks for posting pics! I wasn't able to get to the fair this year, and I was really sorry I didn't have a chance to check out the competition!
ReplyDelete(I entered a pair of green-on-white Selbuvotter mittens which earned a red ribbon and a white rosette for "Reserve Best of Class," whatever that means!)
I just stumbled on to your blog...what inspirations you both are!! Thanks for sharing your knitty road thru life. Is it possible to get the pattern for your vest? I would love to give it to my sister as a present. You can email me here... stonepine at mindspring.com
ReplyDeleteThanks!
