It just isn't a acceptable festival/fair of any kind without a funnel cake vendor (and we're in western New York state). I've been finding an i-cord edge looks so nice, that I enjoy the almost mindless miles of it. The sweater looks great!

Funnel cake? I've seen advertisements for it on the IHOP commercials, but otherwise it's not part of my food repertoire. Sounds interesting... I love the grey sweater. You have inspired me to try adding I-cord to one of my knits... I've never done it before. I knew the “baby judging” would turn out OK. Funnel cake?

Sounds like a wonderful day was had by all. And the sweater does look wonderful. I knew you’d judge those babies well. Sounds like a wonderful day was had by all.

I was first in troduced to funnel cake 16 years ago when I moved to SE Pennsylvania from NYC ... I'd had zeppole (equally fried & equally good but not even close to funnel cake) but this was far different. I love going to carnivals if only for the funnel cake! Sweater looks terrific ...can't wait to see the finished product. I love the way grey looks in clothing-there's something so classic about it that I really like.

Sigh. But I have to say, I love that sweater. It's beautiful and very flattering. Glad you survived the baby judging. It sounds like a lovely night, actually. I-cord. Sigh.
