Show Prizes

I put 4 items in the Albion Park Show this weekend and did pretty well. I was a bit apprehensive about putting knitting in for the first time, as I felt that you had to be a long term show goer to win anything, anyway I knitted my fingers to the bones the past couple of weeks since after Christmas and started and finished a jumper for myself in Shadow Tweed, I started and finished a pair of bootees in 4ply pure wool, I started and finished a tea cosy which I totally love, I had already knitted a 3 piece baby set and I stitched it together last week.

Results were Bootees and Tea Cosy - 1st Place - $5 each; Jumper and 3 piece Baby Set - 2nd place - $3 each = $16 in total. Won't make me rich - Yet! but I do like having the certificate with 1st and 2nd written on them.
