Her Own Musical

Earlier this spring my daughter knitted a cute little pair of infant's socks.
The pattern was in a vintage sock book(a modern book) and was dated around 1900 I think.
She thought they were cute and decided to knit them for 4-H as well as her hope chest.
More than one attempt was made for the final result, but quite worth it.
In 4-H, in Indiana at least, the project must win at the county level to be entered in the State Fair.
We were glad they made it, but also knew that getting a blue ribbon at the state level wasn't easy.
When we saw that she got a blue ribbon and special merit, we were quite pleased.
I never did find the grand champion knitted item, but in our hearts these were just as good.
Pop on over to her blog and see some pics.

The Indiana State Fair 2010

At the 2010 Indiana State Fair it is the Year of the Pig.

Can display of said pig.

Looks like a can display of an Indy car.

This is a big pumpkin that has a sow and piglets carved into it, as well as, the state fair emblem.

Some folks we met there.

(Me,Chris,Maggie)

Oh, look here they are carved in a giant pumpkin!

This little sheep is a Tunis sheep. The fella said that these were the type of sheep George Washington had on his farm and that later on in history they were almost eaten out of existence. The Civil War used up a lot of their meat.

I thought I might knit these gals a sweater....what do you think?

The 'world's' largest boar. Really? Is he REALLY the largest one in the world?

Well, that is what the sign says.

He weighs only a couple hundred pounds more than the State Fair winning heaviest pumpkin.
