When Is Your Country Fair?

When is your country fair? Ours, that is the one in Searcy, is coming up in Sept. I am hoping to enter some of my knitting. I am hoping to enter a few dishcloths of different styles, a scarf or two, & maybe my one hour hat. Maybe, I might just go slow & knit a dishcloth or two & a scarf. I just want to be able to enter the fair this year with a knitting project or two, since I have not been a knitter that long. I am proud of my ability to knit-not in a 'I better than you way' but just proud I was able to learn what I have so far. Is that okay? I think it is......

So when is your County or State Fair? What of your knitting or other crafts are you going to show at them? I know that there are many knitters out there, so share what you are going to show or have shown at your County or State Fair. There are so many talented knitters that I have seen in my Yahoo Groups I am in, I can see many of them showing their knitting accomplishments to others-I am excited to hear from everyone. Good luck as you enter, God Bless you for sharing your talents with others. Have a happy weekend!!!!!

I have been gone too long......

It has been too long since I have been here, talking about my knitting & such, but I have been sick, along with family members having struggles-to the point of keeping me so busy I can hardly do anything. I have finished three, no four exchanges-some late but are going out on Monday. That relieves some pressure off my shoulders & mind.

I wanting to knit for myself-doing some catch up on-just to knit for myself some things I want to knit, getting ready for Christmas gifts and all. I am going to give some to family and friends-surprises, as I found some really neat patterns to knit. I love the Christmas Season-the giving of gifts, that's what live is all about. Give to those, expecting nothing in return--Christmas is so much fun! How many of you love Christmas-knitting up surprises for family-enjoying the faces of surprise--the sounds of ooooh-aaaaaaah! Not only do I love the giving-I love the season itself-the decorations--decorating the tree--the house--seeing the kids {even the adults}--as the watch the lights turn on in their homes-at the parade-in the parks-even on the carriage ride. How can you not like Christmas?
I hope you enjoy knitting & making your own gifts-creations. Life is to short not to enjoy what you like to do as a hobby-or your work so you can stay home with your family. Keep it up and enjoy!!!!
