The Summer Knit Together

2010 Challenge
Our challenge, "The Flowers of our 50 States," was entered in the California State Fair (Cal Expo). "We earned a 2nd place ribbon ($60) AND received a special award ($100) from the Camellia City Stockinettes Sacramento Knitting Guild!" It will be displayed in the Creative Arts building. "Please note: the State Fair is running earlier than usual this year, Weds 7/14 through Sunday 8/1.
When the fair is over, we will display our flowers again in the Auburn Art Walk Thursday August 12, 2010 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM. We plan to then enter the flowers in the Gold Country Fair after that."
World Wide Knit In Public Day
In the last blog, Teri mentioned in the Comment section that she was planning to go to this event. So, Teri and I went to the WWKIPD at the Lake Tahoe Yarn Company in Truckee this past Saturday. It was a small turnout, but we had a good opportunity to talk with the owner and two other knitters from Reno and see the new shop. The yarn shop at its new location is really nice. She carries a lot of great items: beautiful yarn, roving, kits, notions, and cute gifts. It is very close to the Safeway store in Truckee, which is the best place to park if you would like to visit. The website for the yarn shop is http://www.laketahoeyarncompany.com.
By the way, the owner of Lake Tahoe Yarn Co in Truckee mentioned sending packages of goodies to the troops in Afghanistan through a soldier she is related to. Some of the items on her list were knitted hats/scarves, tea, candy, cocoa, crossword/sudoku books, and (sigh) I forgot the rest...
Have a nice summer. From a card I saw: Peace, Love, Knit
