State Fair Results

For as long as I have entered at the fair, I have never been able to figure out the judges. First Jeanne, entered the Wobbly Tote and got third place, but not in the felted bag category in some knitted dress category. I took a fourth place for my pink skater hat, it was a last minute decision to enter it and so that was okay.




When I get my entries back I will share some of the judges comments. They are always interesting, as sometimes they make no sense and many times are critical of color selection. I was really hoping my Fair Isle bag would have won something but no such luck. As I say every year there is always next year...

I think that your submission is great. You did a good job, especially if it was last minute. Hopefully next time the judges will realize it.

The hat is cute! I know what you mean about judging... Difficult to understand sometimes. I entered a X-Stitch project many years ago and I only got a score back, no comments. I hope this time will be different (I entered a pair of socks).

Congratulations! Cute hat. :) Nothing on my socks this year - they were all over lace, from Sundara Black Lagoon, not those winning Dublin Bays!

Judging is always so subjective, which is why I usually don't enter competitions. I like your hat, very simple and cute color.
