Day 197: The Washington State Fair (aka the Puyallup Fair) isn't until September, but I am hard at work on several entries for the "Textiles-Spinning" division including these socks. Yes, that's handspun, a blend of Merino wool and bamboo fiber: silky-soft and durable, and if you think the colour is too pink for the Crow, you'd be right on the mark. Some lucky person will be receiving these as a gift, and hopefully, they'll be accompanied by certification of prize-winning status. I've never competed in the spinning division before. I will also be submitting a full skein of fingering weight in a different colourway, and possibly even a skein of finer yarn spun on a drop spindle. All three will fall into different classes within the spinning division increasing my chances to bring home a ribbon.
