Thanks to everyone who took some time out of their festive break to vote.

You have chosen your knitwear champions...

And in second place - no carp, it's Kirstie!  A fist time entry and already on the podium.  Well done.  Again, a special setting and some cracking knitwear.

And your winner this week, as voted for by you, is me and my reindeer jumper (a gift from Santa).

Yay me.

As always the winner gets a prize...



And because you've all been so good this year you get a completely non-knitwear related bonus to get you ready for NYE.

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!

The results for the final pre-crimbo knitwear funday are in...

In third place reaching for the stars, is Adam in his rocket man knit looking for a ticket to the moon.

And in second place its Dave from Rygel-9 in his orange cardy.

Maybe Dave and Adam need to have a chat about linking the blue horns with the rocket knit - just saying.

And now for your winner.

The top of the heap for round 5 of knitwear funday is Sarah in her soon to be classic tribute to Christmas knit.

As always the champion must be crowned!

And you couldn't decide on a winner and so we have a tie! 

Two exceptional entries who share this weeks knitwear title:

Claire - santa's little helper

Oh this is too good not to share!

Non-human or Friday related knitwear - but you have to watch this!

A little bit of controversy...

Sadly a few people questioned the validity of the knitwear funday CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS result.

Sometimes it can be hard being at the top...

To all you loser infidels I say:

read 'em and weep...

[actually it's a bit difficult to read - sorry! It says; Steve 4 votes, Jo 1 vote, Row 2 votes, Johnny 2 votes, Dave 2 votes, Hannah 2 votes and Row's second entry 0 Votes]

Because there can be only one...

Your knitwear funday CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS is...

ME!

I won! Yay me!

Thanks to the four people who voted for me (and I know that one of them was not my mum).

And in second place were a few people:

Row getting down on the farm

Johnny the mad scientist

Dave the space orange

And this the prize for the person who could have joined the others in second place but broke the wools... you know who you are!
