This is my Candleflame Shawl. I finished it this past winter and it's been freshly washed and re-blocked.
The Pea Pod sweater. This is the first sweater I've ever made and other than the sizing issues (it was supposed to be a newborn size but it fits Lil) I love how it turned out. It's so cute and I plan to knit it again, at the correct gauge.
And lastly the Maze Socks from Sensational Knitted Socks. Other than the fact that the book is riddled with mistakes I really like the patterns in it. These socks were a tough knit. I don't care much for the Cascade Fixation but mom needed socks that she couldn't felt. Next time I make her two-color socks I'll use superwash wool. The cotton isn't awful but it's a bear using it for two-handed knitting.
I'll drop these items off this weekend and won't see them again until the fair ends near the end of August. I'm nervous but everyone (including the girls I knit with) says my stuff is beautiful. It would be great to win a ribbon but I don't want to get my hopes up. I think it would be great if my stuff just gets displayed.
