Join us for an online viewing of the conversation between four Shetland knitters as they share their experience in judging knitwear at Shetland’s agricultural shows, followed by a live Q&A to have your questions answered.
Featuring:
- Rachel Hunter
- Elizabeth Johnston
- Hazel Tindall
- Terri Leask
This recorded conversation and judging demonstration explores what judges look for in an entry, the challenges and responsibilities of judging knitwear, and the experiences they have gathered through years of involvement with the Shetland Agricultural Shows.
The conversation also offers practical advice for knitters who enter competitions, organise local shows, or have questions about how judging decisions are made.
Following the recorded discussion, all four judges will join us live online for an interactive Q&A session, giving attendees the opportunity to ask their own questions about knitwear competitions, judging, entering, and more.
