No sales on the 2nd day of the street fair, either. And no food on a stick! It turned out that the food vendors (the fair fare, if you will) were all upscale and stuff. Oh well, the county fair starts on the 10th. Much food-on-a-stick to be had, there!

looks like a purty red to me!

Hoity toity folk. Food on a stick sounds divine.
Isn’t brioche stitch fluffy? I knit up (what turned out to be a giant swatch) of cotton stash and it was positively plush.
