I picked up all my knitting from Castle Hill Show today, and I have to say, I’m ridiculously proud of the final result.
That’s everything, here are the details.
Puzzle Wrap, Highly Commended. The section was G19, A knitted Shawl or Stole for an Adult.
Autumn Rose, First Place. The section was G4, Traditional Fair Isle Garment.
Tangled Yoke, First Place. The section was G8, Lady’s Jumper or Cardigan
Kitri Socks, First Place and a Champion Ribbon! The section was G15, Personal accessories (Not a scarf)
There was also a little note attached to the Kitri Socks, which read “Very Snazzy Socks!”
Magic Carpet Ride, First Place and a Champion Ribbon, the section was G18, A knitted Scarf for an Adult
And finally, the big winner, the Shetland Shawl.
First Place, Champion Ribbon and Reserve Grand Champion overall.
So now, the Shetland Shawl and the Kitri socks are off to Camden and Campbelltown Shows, and everything else is off to the Royal Easter Show. (The Easter Show has no sock category – Boo! And the Shetland did the Easter Show last year)
Ok, so you MUST sew those big ribbons into a sash (or two) and wear them to the next Guild meeting. Please pretty please!
Congratulations you big star!
Wow Donna, that’s even better than we thought. It was hard to read the cards the way everything was laid out, but hey, congratulations once again and good luck at the Royal, Camden and Campbelltown shows!
Wow!! Great job!! Hmm maybe I should enter in some of the shows around me. I can honestly say I have never thought about doing it! Your work is lovely the ribbons are well deserved and you should be proud!
Congratulations!
Eeeee! Congratulations, that’s wonderful! I’m with Rose Red – make a humungous sash out of all those First, Champion & Grand Champion ribbons! Or maybe a discreet chair-cover to take with a folding chair to meetings? (Is it odd that I’m sad the Puzzle Wrap was “only” Highly Commended? I mean, I’d love to get a ribbon even *that* high someday!)
Wow, wow, WOW!
Hi,
My name is Michele, and I am in the process of looking for people like yourself to knit me beanies. I noticed that you are a South Coast knitting group, and I come from the Sutherland Shire.
I would pay you for the beanies….
Would love to hear back from you, please email mlalor22@hotmail.com if you or anyone in your knitting group is interested.
Thanks you
Congratulations on all your wins – your knits are amazing! Good luck in the other shows!
Wow, what a haul. And well deserved. Congratulations! Do you have a ‘pool room’? Where will you display all those ribbons!
I have told you before, but I will say it again. You rock Donna!! Good luck at Camden and Campbelltown.
Oh well done Donna! Isn’t it just the best feeling? You so deserve it. Stunning work.
Congratulations and good luck in the other shows esp the Royal.
Congratulations Donna on doing such excellent work. You must feel so proud of how well your items were judged. Good luck with the other shows too, although I am sure you will soon need a cabinet to display all those ribbons.
well done! that is a fabulous result.
when we meet i think i’m going to have to bow down and tug my forehead.
Very well done. We are so not worthy. 🙂
Good luck with all the other shows. Congratulations again, you do good work!
Congratulations Donna!! That is ridiculously FANTASTIC, well done!! 🙂 So well deserved of course.
We are so very not worthy of your mad knitting skills. What a haul – fantastic! Congrats!
Wow! Is Twinkie impressed yet? you guys get some fancy ribbons. I think you should wear them around, too.
Ribbons for each of your entry!! WOW!! Congratulations!!!!
oh my – congratulations on all your ribbons! and all your beautiful work! after looking at all i’ve missed – my favorites are your beautiful autumn rose, and the kitri socks! i also love emily’s robin….thanks for the twinkie shots too!
Oh CONGRATULATIONS!!! You star you!!
I’m so thrilled at your successes – and I’m not surprised your Shetland Shawl won everything, it’s a true masterpiece.
Go Donna. You should be ridiculously proud , you should beam for days , weeks . You should casually wear your ribbons out in public. A fabulous effort , well deserved . YAY for you!
Hey there…saying congratulations seems so ordinary, but CONGRATULATIONS! All your works are masterpieces. I especially love the socks and Autumn Rose.
Love,
Amy
Awesome job! I hope when my short person is as old as Em, I manage to knit things like that. Maybe I’ll have a bit more free time and concentration at that point…. No? Well, maybe coffee will help. 😉
Phenomenal! How many people can say they took a FIRST with the first fair isle?
So glad Kitri kicked 🙂 Very snazzy socks indeed!
Congratulations! You definitely deserve all those ribbons ! Good luck on the other shows.
Congratulations on your wins. Soo excitting! See you saturday.
Congratulations! Thats a LOT of ribbons. Very well deserved too.. Those knits are exquisite. 😉 Good luck for the other shows! 🙂
Congrats on all those ribbons! They are all well-deserved.
Seeing it all laid out is quite impressive. Just to think we knew them when! Good luck with the other shows.
You complete and utter star!!! If I were you I would demand to be called Grand Champion at all times.
Wow! Congratulations! Everything looks amazing, especially Autumn Rose. I can’t believe I get busy and not check what you’re up to in a couple of weeks and you’re now a big PRIZE WINNER!!!
Congratulations! Beautiful work!
To say “Well done” seems a bit flat. Perhaps “Woo hoo”? Wonderful achievement. Magnificent knitting. Looking forward to seeing it all, garlanded with ribbons of course, at the Easter Show.
I think it’s safe to say that you’ve officially become a kick-ass knitter! Yea!
Wow – look at all those ribbons! You could make a vest out of them! Congrats 🙂
Congratulations again – wonderful!
Then there’s the Penrith Show in August…
