Third Place


Well, none of my photos of my entries at the fair turned out very well, so instead, here is a photo of the fair after dark. It was really fun to look at the other knitting entries; I saw a few patterns I recognized. There was a Lizard Ridge Blanket, the Tarten Jacket from Interweave Knits (Fall 2004), and an Elizabeth Zimmermann Tomten Jacket. (The links are just to show you what was there--photos are not the exact items entered.)

My tall, lacy socks were awarded third place in the socks division, and my shawl only merited a participation ribbon. I wish the judging comment card had more information; it only lists the scores for the different elements. I'd like to know what they didn't like about the execution. Oh, well. I like it!
