Cake - as expected I didn't get anything. Was slightly disappointed on this in the fact that the judges didn't leave any comments so I don't know how to improve. Mine was the only rich fruit cake though and did have my pistacio marzipan to boot.


Here are the two entries that featured in the "knitted family" section. The circus came first and was made by a lady from my local group.

Shawl - I got a SECOND!!!!!!!!!!!! The green cardigan came first. There was some lacework on it and some beading but I couldn't really see why it came first. Still there is always next year!

I finally finished the shawl at 3am and had to be up at 7am to deliver the shawl to the show in time. On getting up I found that Ish had managed to escape from the cage as I'd not put the roof on properly before going to bed. I literally did a dump and run when I got to the show. When I got home I had to completely dismantle the bedroom and found her hiding behind the middle of three bookcases. All of my bookcases have a double load so I have the equivalent of 6 bookcases worth of books!

Here are some more pictures I took once I got back to the show in the afternoon:

I'll be doing a proper posting later when I get back but in the meantime a look at the entries:

Pacific North-West Shawl - Fibertrends



Christmas Cake. This is only intended as a fun entry and I don't think I'll get anything for it to be fair but then as it costs approx 3x the prize money it certainly isnt about the prize!
