Fair Results are in!

I entered 4 skeins of my hand-spun yarn and all won ribbons. I took home two First Place Blue Ribbons, one Red Second place and a yellow Honorable Mention.

I also entered a pair of handknit socks and they won a First Place Blue Ribbon!!! Hooray! More pictures to follow soon!

Garter Ridge Scarf

My recent finished object is the Garter-Ridge Scarf from the new 60 Quick Knits book all using Cascade 220 yarn. Snoopy, my cohort in crime was bribed with cookies so I could get some pictures.

This was knit longwise, it didn't take too long but I am not a monogamous knitter. It used two skeins of 220 and was great for tv knitting when I couldn't stand to knit on tiny sock needles.

On a personal note, I am a little under the weather (fighting stomach flu/ or possible food poisoning) so I am going to wish everyone a great weekend now!

ps. I am super proud of Jen, Shevon & Brenda for doing a sprint triathlon last weekend. I can't swim and never ever ask me to get onto a bike. Way to go ladies!!!!!
