I finally got a picture of Kilkenny finished.
I went to edit my FO April post in the group 10 shawls in 2010 and I found this on my post.
**ETA BY PILLEN: This shawl does not count due to no finished picture...**
When I signed up I don't think I realized it was a follow the rule sort of thing. I thought it was a "hey let's do this" sort of thing. I understand why Pillen had to edit my post. She needed to make it clear to all of the contestants (which I didn't really know I was) that as I had not followed the rules by posting a picture of the finished object, I would not qualify for any of the prizes randomly drawn in April. Seriously, I understand how people are when it comes to prizes and I'd be CYAing if I were in the same position.
Still and all, it does not do a body good to complete a 1540 yard shawl and read on a post "does not count." The situation was remedied by posting it in the May FO thread - so I guess now it counts.
Lesson learned- read the fine print- make sure it's not a contest-knit for fun.
In my book? It counts double. So there.
ReplyDeletebooo pillen, boo!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks. It's a lovely shawl, too. I think you deserve a prize!
ReplyDeleteYeah... I don't join much either. I also mostly don't start "joining" sort of things... because I know people expect rules and timelines and I'd feel sheepish breaking my own.
ReplyDeleteI say your shawl totally counts!
Um. Er. Reading directions? I'm not so good at it either. Still, it is exquisite!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo there really IS a 'Knitting Police'? Huh. I've always made jokes about how the 'knitting police' won't come if I don't do this or that knitting thing...I should mend my ways..
ReplyDeletethat is one heck of a shawl. wow! glad it now "counts."
ReplyDeleteI don't join things, either...I don't need pressure from the Joiner Police. And I think your shawl is lovely and I'm glad it "counts."
