County Fair Entry -- Opinions Requested

[KimVH]

I am trying to decide whether to include the afghan as part of a layette or keep it separate. If I include it, then I will use the rainbow afghan as my afghan entry. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

The first afghan looks like it was more complex to make. But they are both quite lovely.

All  three are lovely and visually interesting in their own way. 

 

If you were submitting for publication, I would submit afghan and layette not precisely as a set -

 

For anything else, (fair, guild show, etc) I would look closely at the categories available and judging cricteria. 

 

if at all possible, I would submit the afghan and layetter separately. 

 

For the Rainbow, you may want to consider carefully blocking it into shape for the submission.

I would enter the hearts afghan on it's own

Gorgeous work! Both afghans are winners imho but I agree with others. I would enter the hearts afghan alone.

Personally, I love rainbow items and I make them myself. BUT ...

 

I think the pink, green, white combination is gorgeous! If I was judging, I would choose that set. I love the little clothes coordinating with the blanket.

I would enter the heart afghan on its own. It is beautiful and required more work.

Thanks so much for the comments. I really appreciate it! So, I will enter the hearts afghan alone in the afghan category. Now, is the clothing (dress, hat and booties) enough to be considered a layette? The guidelines don't specify exactly what a layette consists of so I'm not really sure.

 

Thanks again!

by "defnition" a layette is a complete set of clothing for an infant - lack further instruction from the judging/submission guidlines, it would seem your set fits that criteria for a fair.

 

For Publication I might make different commnets.

I would enter the hearts afghan on it's own then see if there is a category for the dress and stuff.  Mary
