Best Exhibit!
I'm starting to feel a little like I'm bragging, but you guys understand the knit thing better than anyone else I know.
I skipped out of the pavilion, somewhat embarrassing Em in the process. Next weekend, Campbelltown Show, Tuesday April 7 is the Easter Show Preview, so the results will be in, and that's it for the Shows until next year, I promise.

Posted by: jacqueline at March 29, 2009 06:50 PMYes we knitters love to see what wonderful awards you receive for your beautiful knitting. Congrats Donna, well deserved!!
Posted by: sue at March 29, 2009 07:08 PMI think that was a well deserved skip - and isn't it a mother's right to skip and to embarrass your offspring?
Posted by: missfee at March 29, 2009 07:22 PMYup - you totally deserved those! Skip away :)
Posted by: Lara at March 29, 2009 07:28 PMWell done!
Skipping, mmmmmm will have to remember that one. I often try to embarrass my DD, it's a mums job!
Posted by: blueadt at March 29, 2009 09:09 PMyou think you're bragging? No way!!!
You should hear ME bragging about the fact that I know you, LOL!!!
So proud!!!
Posted by: Sheridan at March 29, 2009 09:27 PMI cut & pasted this:
bragging - exhibiting self-importance; "big talk"
boastful, braggart, braggy, cock-a-hoop, crowing, self-aggrandising, self-aggrandizing, big
proud - feeling self-respect or pleasure in something by which you measure your self-worth; or being a reason for pride; "proud parents"; "proud of his accomplishments"; "a proud moment"; "proud to serve his country"; "a proud name"; "proud princes".
You have all the right in the world to brag or I love this "cock-a-hoop", where does that come from??
You knit and enter as many items as you can do and win more. Your work is beautiful! Way to go.
I should have know it!
cock-a-hoop
Adjective
Brit, Austral & NZ in very high spirits [origin unknown]
Next time cock-a-hoop! and give us all a giggle over here in USA
You brag away! This is wonderful. I think we all understand and are just really pleased for you. You didn't bribe the judges (I'm presuming) - you won these because your work is so fantastic. Good luck in Campbelltown.
Posted by: SallyO at March 29, 2009 11:13 PMThat's extremely mild bragging, almost to the point of calm statement. But you brag away. You earned it. That's some wonderful knitting you turned in, and I'm glad you got the recognition you deserve for it.
Congratulations!
Posted by: JulieT at March 30, 2009 02:05 AMYou're not bragging, you're sharing your wonderful experiences with us so that we can all celebrate. With knitting like that, you deserve to.

Posted by: Andrea at March 30, 2009 06:45 PMEeeee! This is a really exciting season! More Ribbons!! Hm. I guess we do this stuff in the fall up here, too, and it's fall there, so it all makes sense, even if my season-clock is all turned around upside down from yours!
