#mnstatefair2017

state fair round two was a success

The MN State Fair, in all it's glory! Hope you will get out to "The Big Minnesota Get Together" during the Labor Day weekend ahead🎡 📷 @carterwdick #mnstatefair2017 (at MN State Flair)

It took me 6 tries to get this photo! The wind kept knocking the yarn over and then I'd have to go scamper down the Grandstand ramp chasing after the skeins. 😛I'm sure it was pretty good entertainment to anyone watching below. I wanted to get this photo though to show off the exciting rainbow yarn that I bought yesterday! I'll be using these skeins to knit the giant sign that will be hanging on the oval at the top of the ramp. The sign will be approximately 20 feet long so I wanted to make sure that the yarn I chose was fun, soft, and colors I wouldn't get sick of after the 1,345th row. 😉I'm having so much fun making #theGreatMNKnitTogether yarnbomb for the @mnstatefair. I can't wait until August for the fair to open! If you'd like to be apart of the yarnbomb I have a horse topiary with your name on it! You're welcome to knit or crochet a piece of fiber art to add to the community horse yarnbomb that will be on display as part of MN's largest yarnbomb. You can send all contributions to the State Fair at the address below or you can attach it yourself when you come to the fair.

The Great Minnesota Get-Together. ✌🏼 • The older I get, the more my childhood traditions fly out the window. Although part of me still resists moving on, I recently have seen myself create more space for new traditions. This year at the fair was like nothing I've ever experienced before, but I wouldn't have changed a thing. I can't wait for every year to get better and better. 💕 • Old tradition I'm saying goodbye to: John Deer (Yawn!) 🦌 New tradition I'm saying hello to: Skyride at sunset (or slightly after as the moon shines.) 🌙 • Had an incredible time repping @studio9to5 at the #mnstatefair for our second year. Taught a 10am Yoga For Everybody class with @exercisingfaith in the best weather all summer. Thanks to @mariel_victoria @ashleylinneakirkman @mamakj4 @kellygreendecks @mnjoe88 @tvklukow @kmnihls and @cmeiners for coming to class! Already looking forward to next year. 🗓 • #summerinasnap #anthrocontest @anthro_minnesota @anthropologie #mnstatefair #mnstatefair2017 #greatminnesotagettogether #greatminnesotagettogether2017 #yogaonastick #greatminnesotayogatogether #ferriswheel #skyride #deeznuts #yoga #outdooryoga #freeyoga #tradition (at Minnesota State Fair)

Message me your address and I'll mail you some fabulous artwork from @campstudios_ ! Repost @lish.health.fitlife ・・・ "Stop in the name of love." ❤ He says stop, I show you the symbol of our love. 🛑💍 One month til our engagement photos; I can't believe I get to marry this guy! Most importantly, I can't believe he survived 10 hours at the fair with me today, even though he had to work at it for two days before this. 😂😂 📷 : @knitteapolis aka Yarnbomber Minneapolis #GreatMNKnitTogether #MNStateFair #GreatMinnesotaGetTogether #campstudios #localartist #stopinthenameoflove #yarnbomb #knitteapolis #mnstatefair2017 #minnesotastatefair #mnstatefair17 #yarnbombing #stopsign #stopsignart #greatminnesotaknittogether #thegreatminnesotaknittogether #happyhooker #engagementphotos #statefairpeople #inthenameoflove #minnstagram #minnstagramers #crochetallday #midwestisbest #puremidwest #summerfair #thisismymn #supportlocalartists #mnart #mnartist (at State Fairgrounds Grandstand)
