We “did” the fair today. Checked my results ? 24 first place, 12 second place, 3 third place. One item (I’m embarrassed to say—it was my knitted dishcloth) failed to place (sob) and one (baby afghan) I couldn’t spot the tag on (high shelf, bottom edge buried by other entries). ? The *black* adult sweater that I agonized over for weeks was one of the blue ribbon winners. ? ? Ann McManus in PA ?

Thank you Ann! I love the way you keep the craft going and in the public eye. We get a good number of entries of all types so I don’t feel the same need.

You're so close to Rhinebeck. Here, we are? the capital of big box acrylic granny squares ( though they also have their place).
