Yesterday Rory and I made a drive out to Pomona to make it for the last day of the LA County fair.  It's one of those things that comes every year and you never do.  As an LA native I feel it's my duty to have gone at least once.  When I told people this is my first time they were shocked, but I guess it's kind of like those New Yorkers who have lived in NY their whole lives and have never been to the Statue of Liberty.

Anyway I digress.  So after about an hour drive we finally arrived.  We get there and we went straight for the fried food!  It's okay, we skipped breakfast.  I always hear about the fair food... but it was always kind of like a myth.  But there it was, everything fried land!  - that's what they should call it... not a "fair."  There were fried caramel apples, Klondke bars, Kool-Aid, Twinkies and much much more.  Rory and I went for something a little more familiar to start our day, the fried zucchini, chicken &amp; onion rings.  It was fried madness!!  I wish I got the Twinkie...

Then we headed over to the Tapestry Exhibit.  There were so many things to look at, next time I will spend a couple of days looking at all the great things.  Two of my favorite pieces that were knit up both got 2nd place.

&nbsp;

The first one is a lace stole knit by Kristina Lawton from Palmdale.  I am not sure what the pattern is but I think the yarn might be Wollmiese.... not sure which color or base though.

&nbsp;

Then another 2nd place winner was Gale Rugnetta from Rancho Palos Verdes.  She knit Girasole by Jared Flood.  The yarn looks like Handmaiden Seasilk in the Orchid colorway.  I love playing name that yarn, so much fun.  It would have been more fun if everything wasn't behind glass and I really got to cop a feel.
