KNITTING
Knitting has three divisions of exhibit classes based on the techniques used: Knitting with needles; Knitting with looms, boards, and machines; and Felted Knitting. Members may enter up to a total of four classes based on the phase or level in which they are enrolled. The classes may be any combination of divisions but within each division the classes must be in a single phase or level. To qualify for judging, a 4-H Knitting Exhibit Explanation card must be securely attached to the exhibit. The card requests information about the exhibited item and skills learned in construction. Members must mark skills on the level in which they are enrolled. If they show skills beyond their level, they will not receive extra consideration. Forms are available at county Extension offices or on the State 4-H website, http:// oregon. 4h. oregonstate. edu / fair-exhibit-and-contest-materials. Judging criteria for non-felted items are outlined on the 4-H Knitting Check Sheet( 360-02). Judging criteria for knitting, which has been felted, are outlined in the 4-H Felting Score Sheet( 261-03). Both are available from the county Extension office. A pair of mittens, slippers, socks, etc., is considered one article. The two pieces of the pair should be temporarily but securely attached to each other. Swatches are not acceptable as exhibits.
