The entries are rolling in. . .

 First, we have the  Lacy Baktus Scarf knit up by Debbie Palmer in the colorway Little Monsters:

You'll just have to wait for the rest. . .!

There's 18 days left, folks!

No, the world isn't coming to an end, but the contest will be on July 15th! That's right. You've got 18 days left to knit or crochet something and simply send us a photograph to be entered to win the Big Contest. A few folks have taken this very seriously. Linda Hanford tells us she's used up all her skeins of 60/40 alpaca. Here's her latest, and last, entries:

A Hurricane Hat for herself (she's already made one for dear hubby), a pair of fingerless mitts, and a 

Bainbridge scarf:

Irlanda Isabel Corrales has also sent in another entry! Here's her crocheted neck warmer:

So, folks, get those needles clicking!

A shawl from Edna's Bounty

Linda Hanford's knitting needles must be on fire! In addition to her sending us contest entries, she's still got time for other knitting projects. Here's her Brandywine Shawl:

A close-up (obviously!):

Another 198 Yards of Heaven

Naomi Foran knit up another 198 Yards of Heaven Shawlette for our Big Contest (!) in the color Wood Nymph.

Arf!

Diane McGinnis says her puppy, Lady, wanted to help her knit the Nautilus scarf pattern she knit up using the colorway Clarisse. Here's Lady modeling the scarf:

The needles are flying!

Irlanda Isabel Corrales sent in another photograph for the Big Contest. Again, she used her imagination, and no pattern for this shawlette:

She's a busy bee

We've received two more entries from Linda Hanford. Here's her "scarf with no name:"

And the Traveling Woman scarf:

More entries!

It's so much fun seeing what people have made with one skein our Good Karma yarn! Keep those entries coming, folks!

Linda Hanford knit and modeled this Hurricane Hat, which she made for her husband:

Naomi Foran used a skein of Winter Sky to knit the 198 Yards of Heaven shawlette:

If you're not a member of Ravelry, the last link will not work. Another good reason to become a Ravelry member!

Today's entry

Isabel Corrales designed and crocheted this lovely hat for the Big Contest. She lives in Stockton Springs, Maine.

We're so pleased to see entries that are crocheted. There's a lot of crocheters out there!

Faerie Garden Scarf

Congratulations and a big thank you go out to Lynn Swiriduk, who sent us not only a photograph of her Faerie Garden Scarf, but a detailed set of instructions for her creative design. You can find them here.

Lynn knit her creation in Sweetheart and she wrote, "I used all but 5 yards of the skein." 

I don't know how long it took her to make the scarf, but she said, of the instructions, "I think it took longer to write them down than to actually knit the scarf." 

"And our first contestant is. . ."

Congrats to Gracey for being the first person to send in her contest photograph! She bought her skein of Mamma Mia at the Rhode Island Sheep and Wool Festival.

Gracey said, "I made a cowl of my own design..it's pretty simple and used most of the skein...there's about 96 inches left, enough to make a crocheted flower...."
