Eeep! I actually got a blue ribbon! Kinda exciting. I still don't really like how it turned out and I'm thinking about ripping it out and doing some more felting. Or whatever. Maybe I'll felt it as is and see if it will fight one of my nieces.

Red ribbon
I really liked how this bag turned out. The judges didn't like my yo-yo's. They thought I should have done felted flowers.. Whatever. I'm more of a mixed media kinda person to begin with.
I am thinking about taking the yo-yo's off and doing some embroidery on it... or maybe some buttons.

State Fair Knit-along
Well, I guess I mentioned doing the State Fair Knit-along in my last post. It's getting closer to the time to turn my stuff in and I'm not quite done with them. I have some ends to weave in on my Blackberry, and the One Skein Wonder. I'm not too happy with the baby hat, so I might buy new yarn and re-knit it. Katja is ready too go. My felted bag needs some more felting and some decorating. I was thinking of putting some yo-yo's on it.
Needless to say, I'm going to be crafting all day today. However, I might get distracted by the baby sweater I'm knitting out of Last Minute Knitted Gifts cuz it's coming along nice and fast (0-6 month size). It's out of Plymouth yarn's Fantasy Naturale 100% cotton mercerized. I'm loving it. I used it for my niece's Katja and it turn out nice. I love how this yarn is so soft once knit... And it's relatively cheap, compaired to some of the other cotton's I've come across in various LYS.
Oh, and I have pictures!

Bunny in a dress
Started: 6/29/06
Finished: 7/1/06
Yarn: Cotton Tot's by Bernat (100% cotton, don't know the yardage)
Needles: US size 7
Size: 12 months
Pattern: Katja from Knitty.com (too lazy to link, but it's one of the suprises from this last issue
Notes: I pretty much followed the instructions all the way... This might be a first for me. I'm not sure if it's going to be long enough. My cousin is going to try it on Anna and let me know.
Will I knit this pattern again? Yup, I'm already most of the way done with a size 3 months for the Fair-a-long. Then I'm going to start one for my own niece and one for a lady at work's soon to be adopted baby girl. I love this pattern. It's so cute. I guess the only change I'll really do is putting a couple more rows on the bottom.
