Kiama Show

At first I was so excited.....excitement turned to sorrow....when I realised that my lovely lace shawl knitting in the beautiful Knitabulous yarn especially dyed by Knitabulous for her first knit club.....was NOT there. This shawl won 1st Prize at Albion Park Show 2 weeks ago...maybe someone didn't like their odds in the competition and took it out.

I dropped all my knitting off at Kiama Show on Thursday morning, you never think that it may go missing......it could have gone with someone else dropping off their show items.....it may have never made it to judging. I don't know how I feel, a bit lost I think.

Anyway I have spoken with show officials, I gave them a picture of the shawl, so they will contact me if they know of its whereabouts.....I am not holding my breath.

It really makes me cranky that I have never worn it, I thought it was so nice that I saved it to go in the shows this January.....and now I may never get to wear it.

The excitement I felt was because for many years I have been trying to win the "3 piece baby set" class and finally I have done it....1st and 2nd...First comes with the Isabel Rutledge Memorial Ribbon....YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


And some are in for a huge shock, so if you are weak hearted, TURN AWAY NOW....don't read on. My FEATHERS Vest WON 1st PRIZE in the knitted vest section...and no it wasn't the only thing entered in the Vest section. Well have you picked yourself up off the floor.

One of my coathanger covers won 2nd prize.

All photos above are from Albion Park Show with the winning certificates attached to them.

I am hoping that when I collect all my knitting and winnings on Sunday morning that my shawl will have miraculously appeared.
