Specific Rules for Crochet, Knits, and Tatting:
1. Only 3 entries per lot. No additional lots will be made. Please plan your entries to fit these lots. If you have an item which does not fit into one of the lots, it may be entered in “other than named” at the end of each class.
2. Exhibits previously entered in the Central States Fair are not eligible for competition.
3. Entries must be clean, spot free, and in like new condition, only items which are clean and show no evidence of pet hair or dander will be judged.
4. All entries must be fee of loose ends. This is the one mistake that we see more than any other. Hint: the washer and dryer do a fantastic job of working those ends back out where everyone can see them.
5. All entries should be dry cleaned, or blocked, and if desired, lightly pressed. This will allow the stitches to lay flat and show them off to their best advantage. If you are showing a doily or other item made of thread or very fine yarn, consider starching and pressing the item lightly to give it a clean, crisp look. Hint: blocking and starching is still used in finishing instruction in new pattern books for all types of knitted and crocheted items.
6. All judges’ decisions are FINAL.
7. All Best of Class awards may not be awarded if the number of entries or the quality of work does not meet the standards set by the Judges. Hint: you have spent hours making your projects; take a little more time getting them ready for the fair so everyone can see them in their full glory.
