Is this the last entry?

Don't know! Three hours and forty two minutes to go. . .

Darlene Herbert sent this photo from her phone. She crocheted this Funky Ruffled Scarf:

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!

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:

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!

"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...."
