ULTIMATE CROCHET CONTEST! EVERYONE WINS!
Welcome to the first ever ULTIMATE CROCHET CONTEST on Steemit!
@Foxyspirit and I accidentally found out we are both lovers of crochet. This led us to believe there could be more of us lurking on Steemit.
It's time for crocheters of the world to unite! We may be on the brink of WW3, but don't let that stop us from sharing our GIFT OF CROCHET with the world before it's all over :P
@Foxyspirit came up with the idea of a crochet contest to bring us all together to share our love of the craft. Our intention is to encourage bonding and friendship between fellow crocheters so please comment on and support the work of our fellow crafters.
To get things started...
Here are examples of crochet by @foxyspirit:
Cute hat with ears for adorable baby
Superb summer sandals.
Here are examples of crochet by me (@anjkara):
Crochet cardi for my granddaughter.
Crochet Heisenberg Toilet Roll Cover
Rules
Use the tags #UltimateCrochet and #crochet
Write a blog featuring pictures of your favourite crochet masterpiece. Include pictures (obviously) and write a few paragraphs telling us what it is and why you made it.
Post a link to this blog in the comments below.
It must be CROCHET: clothing, accessories, toys, art... anything, as long as it is crochet.
It's not compulsory but your valued upvotes really help make this and future contests a success. If you feel you can afford an upvote, it would be most appreciated.
Because we want to meet more fellow crocheters, we ask you to resteem this post so that we reach as many crocheters as possible. Let's get this known around the world!
Prizes
- 1 SBD each for the top three winners
- ½ the SBD payout of this post will be shared amongst all other qualifying competitors.
Contest will close on post payout and results will be announced within a few days of this.
For updates and future crochet contests, follow @foxyspirit and @anjkara.
More importantly, have fun!

Great competition, wish I'd seen it earlier, I'm pretty slow so I don’t think I can make anything, gl to everyone :)
I added the ultimatecrochet tag to my yesterdays post, it's a crochet table decoration https://steemit.com/fiberartists/@ivan-g/crochet-project-tree-finished
Thanks @ivan-g
You can use a pic of something you've already made. It doesn't have to be new :D. Love your table cover and the dragons and stars too. Wow, you're so creative.
Cheers
Oh, if I can get my current crochet project done on time, I'll have something NEW to enter...if not, I'll definitely find something I've made in the past :) Thanks for creating a fun contest like this!

Nice to meet you too @anjkara I’m brand new at crocheting, but it’s good fun so I’m looking forward to following you and seeing more of your pieces 😊
Thanks. I'm looking forward to seeing yours too. Yay!
Have re-steemed so my #needleworkmonday friends can see the contest. I'm busy with the 5k training programme on the #runningproject so I haven't so much time for posting crafts just now, but have fun, it's a great idea!
thank you so much @shanibeer. We really appreciate it :)
I've joined the discord server and look forward to chatting to you and your friends in the very near future.
Good luck with your running project. Sounds difficult. Eek :D

Just noticed you are in Liverpool. I worked in Slater Street for a while and lived in Waterloo.
Ah cool. I used to frequent Slater Street bars in my student days :P Where are you now?
I live in Leicester and work in London. I must get in a trip to Liverpool this summer, I haven't been for a couple of years.
Whaaaaa! That's some commute you've got!!! I hope you've got a helicopter.
Yay, there are some great free festivals in Liverpool over the summer. Enjoy! :D
