From my spinning class last spring I got lots of wonderful fibers to play with - I spun up this and then decided it would be really pretty if I plied it with
THIS -
I spun up this hand carded fiber from some angora locks that I bought a couple of years ago at Black Sheep Gathering.
And plied it with the grey to make THIS - which, along with a whole bunch of other samples, I crocheted into a "hobo style" bag. (which, of course I don't have a picture of ...but you'll see it soon!)
Long story short - I entered the bag in our local NW Washington Fair and got an email from a friend who was nice enough to check on my entries for me and I got a BLUE RIBBON!
I also go a blue ribbon on a skein of handspun from some of the fiber that I brought back from BSG this year. I am very excited! WooHoo!

Congratulations on your blue ribbon! I am so terribly sorry that I am so late in coming over to tell you how sorry I am that Neelix went to the Bridge. I guess my brain has just been in disconnect mode with everything that has been going on lately. I am truly very sad that Neelix is gone and I feel a very deep sympathy for you.
I love the soft color variations in your plied yarn, Tina. VERY pretty!
One of these days I'm just going to have to start playing with COLOR.....
Congratulations, Tina! I am so jazzed at your ribbons! I knew you could do it! YAY!
(Now if we can get The Shepherd to give you some of those fleeces he's got stashed....) heeheehee
I don't think there will be any way to keep Tina out of those fleeces now! And why not? They are doing no one any good just SITTING there! Spin on!
Congratulations - that yarn is gorgeous! Our fair is next week and I've spent today getting my entries ready.
BTW, I've been waiting to hear how Luna's fleece did there, too!
Tina this is so exciting. That yarn is soooo yummy! You did good!
