Iowa State Fair 2013

IMG_5273IMG_5271 IMG_5272This year I entered three items into the Iowa State Fair Fabric and Threads competition. The first was a monster swing in Cascade 220SW from the book Knit a Monster Nursery by Rebecca Danger, this one took a third place ribbon. The next was the Cowboy Cowl in a cream Cascade Baby Alpaca Chunky, which received honorable mention and finally the faux fox cowl in Cascade Eco Wool, which did not place. I love the fair and seeing everyone’s knitting. Such an annual treat!! Good job fiber artists!!
