The first Knitting Purls Design Contest is over, and we have winners! Though there were entry forms for every category sent to designers, the only category with actual entries was the Children's category. So, we're awarding two prizes in that category. The first-place winner is April Strong for her colorwork cap. (Just a reminder, all designs for children were entered in the Children's category.) The Grand Prize goes to Laura Wilson-Martos for her Tilted Toque! Congratulations to both of our winners! The pattern for Laura's toque will appear in the next issue of Knitting Purls.
People have already asked if there will be a second Knitting Purls Design Contest. Could be. We'll just have to wait and see.
The Winter Warmies KAL over in the Knitting Purls Ravelry group has been overwhelmingly successful. In fact, we're already planning new KALs. Signups are under way for the Toe-Up KAL; you have until February 15 to sign up for that one. On February 13, signups begin for the Spring Stash-Buster--Colorwork KAL. We'll also be having a Summer Hotties--Cables and Lace KAL. For information on all of the KALs, check out the Knitting Purls Ravelry group.
Congrats to the winners!
