Prize Fairy:You might also notice the Prize Fairy buzzing into our Facebook and Ravelry groups from time to time. As an extra bit of fun, we'll be popping in with a $10 gift card for a few participants who are active in the groups and helping others.

Winners will be randomly selected from those participants who complete the FO Form. When your project is complete you can complete the FO (Finished Object) Form - available soon. If you complete more that one qualifying project in the timeframe, please fill out the form for each project.

All winners will be chosen from people who have signed up with us and completed an FO From. Prizes are selected at random, not based on skill or project! This form will be available soon.

You are still welcome to join us if your project doesn't fit these requirements (you bought the yarn elsewhere, your project isn't technically an accessory, etc).

The point is for everyone to join in, feel welcome, and knit and learn together! However, only qualified finished projects will be considered for the prizes at the end of the KAL.
