haven't posted in a while so i think it's about time. a lot has happened, but one thing of note is that I was excited to learn that I won a couple ribbons at the Kansas state fair for my "Fiddlehead Mittens". blue ribbon for knitting under a year and a purple ribbon for best of show (for all hand knitted items). i'm excited, humbled and a little embarassed that I won the best of show as I know for a fact that there were lots of wonderful entries, one of which was rkyarns beautiful EZ sweater. along with the ribbons, i received 3 gift certificates. one from Yarn yard II which was for $5 and got a couple of cable needles and some of those needle stopper things. and 2 were from "Yarn"! i really cool yarn shop in Hutch. they were so nice and excited for me to spend my certificates. i even got 30% off cause it's their 3rd birthday. here is the mother load of loot i got today......
