Fall is finally here, and it's time to visit the many fiber festivals around here. I finished weaving the blue warp/blue green weft shawl. I decided to use a herringbone pattern and let the verigated yarn work its magic. I was so pelased with the result! I entered the shawl in the Hemlock fiber fest and to my surprise and delight, I won! I even won a cash prize from the weavers guild of Rochester.
My family took a mini-break to Minerva, NY . We had a great weekend viewing the beautiful fall foliage, and drinking our morning coffee on the screened porch every morning. We traveled an hour in the car to the Adirondack Museum. As luck would have it, they were having a fiber fest weekend. We saw demonstrations and looked at vendors. I even attended a lecture on knitting traditions in the North Country.
This weekend is the Agricultural Fair at the GCVM. I have entered a few things in the knitting and spinning contest, so tomorrow I'll have to drive over there and see if I won any ribbons.
