It's officially the end of summer. I went to the State Fair yesterday. I knew the cooling was coming but was amazed at the speed. Last week it was 90+ F every day. Yesterday I wore a jacket to stay warm and lots were complaining because they were not dressed for the weather.
Anyroad, this is a blog about knit and crochet. The Craft Building did not disappoint. I was very pleased to see that two of the SWEEPSTAKES winners were crochet. I'm not the best crocheter but I have a huge admiration for people who are really good. Those top winners were a fine lace tablecloth in ecru color and a Tunisian crochet tapestry of dinosaurs. Unlike many Tunisian tapestry work, this was not done in cross stitch over TSS. The person used colorwork in TSS to make the dinosaurs. Unfortunately, I used an old school camera and had run out of film by the time I found these treasures. There were some really nice lace crocheted shawls also. The downside was one ignoramus loudly declaring "I don't like crochet" as she was pulled into the section.
None of the knitwear stood out for me sorry to say. There was some spectacular weaving work though.
