Fair Entry Review

At the monthly meeting Tuesday September 4, we were all thrilled to view the fair entries of our members, up close and personal.  It was interesting to hear the stories behind the making of the items, challenges, re-dos, and such.  Many ribbon winners and all beautiful work!  Congratulations Ladies, well done!
For a listing of all the handknitting winners go to the following link at the State Fair of Iowa's website. http://www.iowastatefair.org/competition/results/wilcox-wins-big-in-iowa-state-fair-hand-knitting-contest/
Please refer to the "See what we do..." section in the lower right of our page, you can see the stunning knitting from the fair via photos.  Enjoy!

We also heard a recap of Stitches Midwest by 3 of our members.  Each had a review of classes, banquets, market place, yarns etc.  Inspiries one to want to attend one of these events!  Thank you.

We have a busy month of knit & chats plus Alpaca Days so check our calendar page for the September listings.

Click for Babies Purple Hats are due in October.  New born size hats in any shade of purple and machine washable.  Nancy will collect them at the next meeting on October 2.
