Confirmation… I’m a winner!! July 29, 2007
I saw it for myself and confirmed. Kibbles-n-Knits won a First Place Blue Ribbon for Knitted Garments and a Grand Champion Purple Ribbon at the Fair. What more could a girl want? Bigger news.. KnK representatives actually attended the fair. Despite our camera being down, the paparazzi were in attendance and provided photos. The Lord of KnK was a good sport about me receiving all of the paparazzi limelight, but he deferred from posing for pictures. He didn’t want to be seen as just arm candy and he is still trying to figure out how much this win will cost him. I’m planning to have a huge monument built to ”The Win” in the knitting room of the KnK Palace.
After a long 10 day absence from knitting, I joined up with some knitsters at Four Ladies. Quite fun, got to see Nancy Marchant. She is a Hoosier native now living in Amsterdam and a very talented designer. Never know who you will run into when you go knitting. Knitting buds have dreams of quilting AND making socks. Ten days away and they are cooking up plans.If we are going to stray into other crafts… then somebody has to teach me to sew!
Started on a new project. Using Noro Silk Garden, again. This time in #87 with Cash Iroha #101. I’m making the Sursa Shawl pictured below. I’d show the progress, but camera is broken. You will have to wait for me to finish and I can publish the paparazzi pics of me wearing it. I tried changing up the pattern twice, but I went back to the original edging.
Changed up the site a bit. Still trying to figure out if I like it. Let me know what you think.

Bloglines is working.
I guess Lord KnK doesn’t fear you will buy more yarn after your GC. That’s been happening since Day 1!
I won’t make you knot socks, if you learn to quilt!
SOCKS?
I think you’d like making fuzzy booties! I plan to make about a dozen pairs - one for each fair catagory next year.
Love your site. I need you to look at the Pastazza colors. The blues don’t seem quite as turquoise as we wanted. See what you think about 270.
Thanks. I think 270 works.
Elizabeth, someone just sent me a notice about a blog for dogs, dog.com Thought you might be interested.
