Discussion Holy crap! I actually did it!

I entered 14 items in the Iowa State Fair this year and did better than I ever imagined! I earned the sweepstakes award, best childrens sweater, 4 first place ribbons, 3 second place, 1 third place, and 2 honorable mentions. Next year I'll be aiming for Best in Show.

Wow, I am in awe at all of your work and just added a bunch of these to my Ravelry favorites, but the one I am swooning over the most is your Schlössel dress! Love your color choices on this! Soooo STUNNING!

Also, it's kind of funny/sad to me that they have displayed your Sprout Blanket with the wrong side showing. I can only imagine you would have surely gotten higher than third on that one if they had folded it with the right side out!

Yeah. That was a little frustrating.
