Let's Play Catchup, Shall We?

It's been nearly a year since I posted. What have I been up to in that time?

I finished that big red sweater I last posted about. It won a second place ribbon in the fair (the ribbon is out of the frame - all the ribbons you can see are for other items!) .

The Evenstar got blocked (twice, actually) and ended up taking Reserve Champion Wool Product, and earned me the Knitting with Distinction award. I was so excited!

I think the fair is going to need its own post, because there was so much going on there!


Last May I went to Maryland Sheep &Wool for the first time. It was quite the show - lots of people, lots of fiber and lots of friends!

And I wore this on Sunday, because Trish said she'd make it in 3 days if someone would actually wear it. Who am I to hold her back?



Hmmm... let's see.... I got a loom from a moving sale a few weeks ago, and I've just started a project. I'm Youtube-taught and it's actually making fabric so I think that's a win.

Last November I finished a bunch of stuff at once, so I took a group photo. I actually used the timer and took this one myself.
