And the winner is….
Elizabeth (SquidWidget) with her bag “Barf Bag”!
Elizabeth took the spirit of the contest to heart and really went above and beyond to create a unique and one of a kind piece.
We loved her creative take on the original pattern. As a matter of fact, I was so inspired by her bag that I will be making one with similar design elements (the mouth!) to hold my sock yarn as well.
We hope your prize yarn will go towards many beautiful things for you and your beautiful family, especially considering if you looked anything like your bag during your pregnancy you deserve something beautiful!
Congratulations to Elizabeth.
Our 2nd Place winner is Tonks with her bag “George”.
This bag was modeled after designer Tonks ex boyfriend and the bird is named Puck. We were absolutely amazed with the detail on Puck and loved the extra kick the bird added to the piece.
We’re glad “George” is no longer in your life and even happier that Puck still is! Congratulations on your win, Tonks and we hope the yarn you get will be incorporated into your Knitted Wedding.
And our 3rd Place Winner is Aleta (RocketBride) with her bag “J. Harvey”
She got style points for actually having the inspiration hold the bag to take a picture. We just love the mildly amused yet obviously suspicious expression on Mr. Inspirations face.
Aleta also shared with us that she stuffed her honeymoon nightie and wedding band into the bag as well, which we thought was a nice touch. Being in the throes of a separation is hard, we’re glad that this contest offered a worthy diversion and ended on a happy note for you Aleta!
We want to thank (yet again.) everyone who entered the contest and everyone who voted. We’re hoping that the next contest we sponsor will go a little smoother, this was a learning experience for us and we’re glad everyone was understanding and patient with us while we worked the kinks out.
Stay tuned for pictures of the prize yarn before we ship it off to it’s new homes!

Yay! Barf Bag was my favorite. Congratulations to all the winners!

I think the J Harvey deserves some kind of mention considering what likeness there is between the two Harveys. The noses are identical! Amazing.
And congrats to all winners!
J. Harvey is our third place winner! That counts as a mention right?

Despite being a jealous loser (I know, I know, there’s no such thing as a loser in this contest, just a non-winner), I have to say, the Barf Bag was the best!
And J. Harvey does deserve major points for agreeing to pose with his bag (did you TELL him that it was a likeness of him?) Just wondering, LOL.
