Warren County Fair 2012

Knitted outfit

This year I entered 19 items and received 17 ribbons. The 1st place ribbons were for the white knitted American Girl Doll dress , poncho, hat and gloves; a crocheted Barbie bridal gown, hat and basket; a dress with a pinafore and purse (that also won Best in Show!) for an AG doll; a hand-knitted sweater, hat and mittens for Alex; a pink crocheted afghan for Maggie; an afghan-stitch crocheted purse; a yellow crocheted doily; a pair of crocheted bear slippers for Alex; pink crocheted booties; a white/silver crocheted bookmark that Emma took home; and our Good Times scrapbook.

Second place ribbons were for the eucalyptus swag, six crocheted coasters and a crocheted ladybug backpack I made for Alex. Third place ribbons were for the three crocheted potholders and a cross-stitched picture of Santa.

The Angry Bird hat didn't win! That was a surprise. I was told that the judges didn't even considered it for judging because they didn't feel that a teenager would even want to wear it! My granddaughter was very happy to take it home and she can't wait for cold weather to wear it to school.

I have already started making things for next year's fair.  Emma's afghan is almost finished and, like Maggie's, I've incorporated her name into the afghan.
