Yarn Stories Knitting and Crochet Guild Competition – exciting news

yarnstoriescomp1Way back in May I told you about an exciting competition run by the yarn company Yarn Stories and the Knitting and Crochet Guild. They were looking for squares which were inspired by the Knitting and Crochet guild archive.

Last week I got the terrific news that my square had been short-listed for the final. Exciting especially when you realise that  Debbie Abrahams, Jane Crowfoot and Angharad Thomas from the Knitting and Crochet Guild, were the judges

Here are the finalists. Mine is a crochet hear design and originally I made it in monochrome, black and white.

The squares have been re-­‐knitted in Fine Merino DK in a palette of 8 delicious colours including Duck Egg, Cream, Primrose, Fuchsia, Raspberry, Leaf, Spring Green and two new shades, Blackberry and Iced Teal.

Now it’s your chance to vote for your favourite design. If you like my design I would be thrilled if you voted. You can do it on the facebook page linked here.

I can’t wait to see the finished blanket.
