Kittitas County Fair 2008

So, I spent most of last week at the Kittitas County Fair manning the Fiber Arts division with Mary and Wendy and Sue and Julie and Lynette and Amy. Yeah! It was really fun. I got only two red ribbons, the rest were blue and I won Best of Class for my 12th Planet Coiled Yarn. Mary won Best of Class and Superintendent Choice for her 1/2 Project Basket. She got all blues on her stuff, too!

Hope to see you next year!

About Sarah and Mary

Hi I'm Sarah L. and I am a fiber freak who loves metal music and video games. I spin wool, I knit and crochet, all while listening to Demon Hunter or Living Sacrifice! Hi I'm Mary T. and I am a fiber freak who loves to follow Jesus and wear dresses (wearing the same dress pattern for so long that it is now known as THE Mary Dress). I spin wool, I knit, I have raised two children and am raising two more, and homeschooling. How did they get started as friends? Well, it all started at a friend's baby shower. Mary was a spinner and Sarah wanted to learn. So Mary taught Sarah the ways of the wheel in her little yarn shop on the side of her house. There began the unending friendship of two women. They now live next door to each other (Mary is Sarah's landlord) and because young Sarah is afraid of cooking, they spend nearly every meal together (when McDonald's is out of reach because Sarah's car won't make it that far). Even as Sarah writes this little blurb, Mary is spinning wool the color of water around the Caribbean coastline.
