Two first-place blue ribbons and a second-place red ribbon, that is what Caroline won this week at the Maricopa County Fair. She had entered three pieces with the crafting competition, a knitted lace shawl and two skeins of handspun yarn. In the photo she is standing next to the two skeins, just right of her left arm is the blue first place and the red second place ribbon. The shawl won first place too. This was the first time Caroline participated at a county fair and the first time she put up some of her handicrafts for judging. Now she’s trying to get me to submit a couple of photos at next year’s event, if only I could take a nice photo.
