Designed a few new hats this month and I've been hunting for craft fairs that I can get into for $50 or less

More hats and fingerless gloves this month. I got myself the book Textured Crochet by Helen Jordan from with my Birthday gift certificate from Borders....I love the stitches....I translated the aligned knot stitch into this hat. I did the sc's into the back loop to give it a bit more interest.

  I used a K hook so it worked up fast and yet is good and thick to keep your head warm. It uses 1 full skein and a wee bit of a 2nd one...I made it out of Loops and Threads Charisma in the Bouquet color.  The colors look much better in person, not so pastelly......Lets see, guess I should name this hat: How about Bubblegum Baubles?

This headband and fingerless gloves use the "Wedge - short to long" stitch in the textured crochet book. and the yarn is Loops and Threads, ummm not charisma...can't remember the name....Impeccable???? and the color is neopolitan. Hmmm...guess I'll call it a Neopolitan Headband.

Hey! is anyone reading this?, let me know what you think and if you'd like me to add more patterns.

Now, for those craft fair sites. I saved em on hubby's computer so gotta see if I can find them again....

Here are some of the sites I found with lists of local festivals: VA and NC and TN.....Then I look one at a time and see if I can find a vendor application......

I've only just barely made the booth fee on the fairs that charge $100 or more, so I'm sticking with the under $50 ones....especially like when I find the little church or community fairs that only charge $20 to $40....

The sites that actually list festivals for craft sellers all seem to have only the high entrance fee events. Please share any good sites you have found! I'll try to figure out if I can create a list somehow on a sidebar on here. But I really don't know how to do much on the computer, so I can't guarantee I'll figure it out! LOL!!!
