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

You have chosen your knitwear champions...

In third place we have our missing kitty - Marie, sporting Santa's cat




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.

Christmas eve knitwear funday winner

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!

Enjoy!

In second place, making a super start to her knitwear funday career, you voted for Vikki and her brown alpaca.


And this weeks winner is...
Me in my ski knit.  Yay me! 

I think I'd have gotten more votes if I had found another bit of air conditioning piping for my second ski pole...

And as always to the victor goes the spoils.

This weeks knitwear funday was hands down the best ever. 

Thank you to everyone who took part.

The standard of the entries was amaze-balls with nearly every entry worthy of being crowned the champion. 

And judging by the results everyone else found it tricky to spot a winner too.

In third place you chose Mel and her reindeer trophy-head addition to the taxidermy wall.

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 and Claire, sorry for the typo in the survey!)


Owen - our very own polar-knit-bear and his tiny polar buddy


Yours is the glory!

And to the victors go the spoils.

Enjoy...

More Knitwear funday methadone

More Knitwear envy from the inter-google.

Pictures of people I don't know wearing little rays of knitwear delight.

I cannot confirm if they were wearing these gems on Friday.

Cosby wannabe



















Two for one... with accessories

















And a knitwear video treat

And finally - the winner is...

Ok apologies up front first.

I've been distracted by a hangover, football, rugby, curry, sleep, shopping, work, sleep, work, dinner, sleep and work - bad steve!






Now what you've all been waiting for, the results of Friday's knitwear funday:

We have a three way tie for second:


Dave our very own knit-vert


Row flashing her animal menagerie


And Sarah in her pearly knit

And the winner is:


Marie!

I can hear her already - not even owl!

And I think she may have already started a bit of a trend or two...



 It's all a bit confusing...

So here's your winning song, by Natalie Portman
