Entering the fair today

Dropping off my entries to the fair today. I have my First Sweater (mostly shaved of pills- I also have a little clump of pilly lint that is the softest most luxurious lint), my Wingspan, and my Seaweed socks.
This is the section on Hand Knitting:

CLASS 23 - HAND KNITTING 
LOT
1. Hat/Cap
2. Socks/Slippers
3. Mitten's/Gloves
4. Shawl/Sweater/Jacket
5. Doll Clothes
6. Toys, Animals
7. Kitchen Accessories
8. Afghan
9. Other

Interestingly, "Scarf" isn't mentioned. It's such a common project, especially for beginners. I could put it with Shawl- the Wingspan pattern is labeled a shawl, but I think it's quite skinny and in "scarf" territory. I might put it in "Other", since I'm already entering something in Lot 4.

I also find it interesting that a hand knit afghan is one lot within one class, while crochet afghans get a whole category to themselves:
CLASS 25 - CROCHETING - AFGHANS, BEDSPREADS, TABLECLOTHS 
LOT
1. Filet
2. Navajo
3. Hairpin
4. Cro-Knit
5. Samplet

9. Afghan-Stitch
10. Popcorn Stitch
11. Granny Square
12. Pineapple Stitch
13. Ripple Stitch
14. Lacy
15. Close Work
16. Double Crochet
