So the Easter Show Arts Preview was last night. I got to see all my knits and how they went.
Poor Rosa, she got nothing.
But the others made up for it!
Niebling doily – second!
(Proving that you might not be able to wash your knits, but starching is just fine!!
The Aeolian shawl, second place.
And Venezia, also second place.
Although I’m claiming a technical First place. For whatever reason, the judges decided not to award a first. I’m assured that this is because none of the entries were good enough. Make of that what you will. We’ll never know what I should have done to improve Venezia in their eyes, because there’s no feedback from the judges, and no explanation given.
Regardless, it’s a haul I’m happy with!
It’s official. You are awesome!
Very weird judging, I think a Technical FP is fine!!! Well done.
Very weird judging, a shame there isn’t feedback. But on the upside, congratulations on an excellent showing at the Show!
Yay, yay, yay! Congratulations!
When the Standards Convenor of the KGNSW spoke at our Guild meeting last year, she said the judges (of which she is obviously one) are under no obligation to award a first prize if they don’t think there should be one. Of course, feedback would be very helpful – perhaps we can talk to the new President!
So what was that in your last post about not being a good knitter? 😉
WooHoo,congradulations!!!Thats wonderful!!!!
Wow. Congratulations. Too bad they don’t give feedback. It would be interesting to read what the judges were thinking….
I’m gonna count it as a first, darnit. Technical or no. Yay for all the pretty ribbons on your lovely things!
Congrats! I agree very much on the Technical First Place!
I especially love the Aeolian!
i dont understand the no feedback, obviously they dont actually care about helping people ‘improve’ their knitting. but then, they give prizes to weird psycho clown dolls so… but i am very pleased your beautiful things did so well. not so regional now huh?!
You wuz robbed – on both Venezia, and Rosa. It almost makes me want to get involved with the guild to see if someone can try and figure out the judging…
Well Done !!!..I was wondering how the starching would go .
Congratulations! Too bad they don’t give feedback just to satify the curiosity of why they judge the way they do.
If there’s no first place, doesn’t that mean your second place is really first place? Odd….
Well done! They look gorgeous. Odd that there was no first?
Wow – fabulous garments well done on all the ribbons!!
p.s I soooo agree Venezia is a definite first!
