Kitsap County Fair Exhibitions

I made a trip to the fair this morning to check on my knitting exhibitions and check out some of the other talented people in our area. There are really some talented knitters in the area. I very pleased when I saw that I have a couple of blue ribbons and a "Best of Class".

"Summer's almost Over"

WOW! Where did summer go? Sunday, I headed out to the the Kitsap Fairgrounds with my projects in hand that I was entering in our local fair. In the past I have entered items in the Western Washington fair in Puyallup, but this year I decided to support out the local fair. Someone from out of the area in doing the judging which seems fair. I just can't believe it is that time of year.

I have been busy this summer as everyone else probably has with vacations, gardening, BBQ, playing with grandchildren and knitting of course.

I finished a Reynolds Mandalay Silk wrap, which I started back at the end of May. I couldn't handle knitting on my current WIP this summer as they were wool and I needed something cooler to work on.  It is one of my favorite wraps thus far to wear this summer. It is a great color to wear with my blue jeans on those summer cool evenings. It is called "Cozy" and the  pattern is from Knitty.com Fall 04 achieves , Designer is  Danielle Schoonover A very easy quick pattern.

"100 Knitting Projects"

I was very excited to receive my copy of "100 Knitting Projects" by Jean Leinhauser and Rita Weiss of which four of my original designs are included in the book. I find that doing some designing once and in awhile is very rewarding, but also very time consuming, due to the short deadlines you are usually required to meet. I really admire designers such as, Eunny Jang.  She is extremely talented. Hopefully, I can get back to designing one of these days and tackle it in a way where I don't feel the extreme stress and pressure by tight deadlines.

Seacape Shawl and New Year 2007

I have been terrible about blogging and this morning realized that if I don't blog, I can't keep track of my FO projects. So here I go again, trying to do a better job of blogging.

We had great holiday, except for all this terrible snow and the freezing temperatures here in the NW. I tell you that we not use to this type of weather at all. My friend was telling me that her little Yorkie gets so cold she has to put press and seal on his little feet when he goes outside.

I have lots of great pictures to share, but such a short time this morning to post as we are starting a new knitting group that I need to get ready, as well as I have to watch the Sea Hawks win the game they are playing  the Chicago Bears for the playoffs. ;o)

I have been busy working on several projects the last couple of months, such as socks, socks and more socks. I also finished the Seascape Shawl  by Evelyn Clark of Fiber Trends. This was for my Mother's 81st birthday in November. I am now finishing up St Enda by Alice Starmore from Aran knitting(working on the last sleeve) and a pair of socks from Sock that Rock yarn. (Love that stuff). I will post pictures of the Seascape Shawl  this morning and post pictures later of St. Enda and my socks.
