Please Vote NOW!


Please take some time to help us decide the outcome of the KnitSpeak Competition as the winner must now be decided upon and a poll has been set up so that this can be done. The winner will receive 400g of Hip Knits Silk (200g of which Kerrie of Hip Knits has kindly offered to donate). Kerrie has also very generously offered to custom dye the silk to the winner's choice of colours! The competition involved the entrants submitting photos depicting examples of knitters' terminology such as frogging, SABLE (Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy), WIP (Works in Progress), KIP (Knitting in Public), etc. There have been ten photos entered which are reproduced below. A photo gallery containing all of the photos has also been created so, if you would prefer to look at the entries in Flickr to see them in a larger format before deciding which photo is the best depiction of the knitters' terminology illustrated, just click on KnitSpeak Competition Photos under Photo Albums in the sidebar on the right. Click on each photo separately in the Flickr gallery to enlarge.

When you've decided upon which photo you think should be the winning one, please vote for it by selecting the number of that photo on the voting form (which is, again, in the sidebar on the right) before clicking the Vote button. Please remember only one vote per person is allowed. Whichever entry has the most votes at 12pm on Friday 18th November will be the winning entry. In the event of a draw, the winner will be decided upon by drawing lots. Thank you for taking the time to help decide the winner!
