This was the sky last weekend during the heat wave - it was the most beautiful color of blue.
And here is my beautiful blue yarn - (that won a blue ribbon)
And here is the BIG blue ribbon that I won for my crocheted "hobo" bag. I used all the yarn that I spun "learning" to spin - including some Pitt Island Merino and some Gottland from New Zealand from Kathy, and lots of different samples from my teacher Yvonne (check out her "chicken house adventure"!) including alpaca (- a dream to spin), some Correydale and and a whole bunch of colored Angora locks that I hand carded and plied with the Correydale and some other pretty white wool which escapes me now
. (the reason it escapes me is because I DIDN"T WRITE IT DOWN, ok, there I said it!) Anyhow, I still got a beautiful Blue ribbon even if I (oh, how embarassing) forgot to tie up a few loose ends...

Congratulations again! What wonderful spinning you do now! I'm still searching for the perfect project for my skein of "fiber samples" from Kathy.
What a wonderful way to use all your samples! And congratulations on all your blue ribbons!
I am so happy for you, Tina! What neat yarn and bag! You go, Girlfriend! :)
Oh so good on you Tina. Congratulations. I laughed out loud at your blue sky picture. A bajillion years ago I was moving back to the west coast from Florida and when we saw blue sky in Arizona at a rest stop, we shot the camera heavenward but it was the days of film and the shop didn't develop our shot, deeming it a mistake.
Congratulations Tina, what a pretty bag and luscious yarns. Keep having fun! Paula
