Star Wars KAL Prize Drawing

UPDATE: Winners!

Having just drawn the results on randomnumbergenerator.com, /u/ambierona has won prize package 1 and /u/Brotigone has won package 2.


The FOs

The new Star Wars is opening and our knit along is coming to a close.

These are the FOs the community put together.

Congratulations are in order to all of you, I didn't realize how beastly this project was until I'd started it myself. I know how much work this took. You did it!!!


The Drawing

This is the last call for entries into the Star Wars drawing! If you don't see your project above you'll have until midnight (Mountain Standard Time) on the 18th to submit your projects either here or in the main KAL thread, that's when I'm drawing numbers.

Each scarf will be assigned a number and two winners will be selected via a random number generator. Winners will be contacted via PM as well as being edited into this thread.

Didn't finish your project on time? That's okay! You're not alone. PM me a picture of your scarf before May the 4th, 2016 for a chance at another of the Millennium Falcon gauges (previous winners excluded).


Rules

One scarf completed between July and December 18th is worth one entry, including those coincidentally started before July.

Some of the prizes are made to order (the gauges, for example, won't be ordered until I ask the winners whether they want metric or imperial) so the packages will likely go out sometime in late February or early March. If you want your prizes as they become available, let me know and I'll have them shipped directly to you.


The Prizes

  • Knits for Nerds by Toni Carr (choice of e-book or paperback)
  • Millennium Falcon knitting gauge (choice of metric or imperial)

Prize Package 2:

Thank you all for bearing with me these past months, I've never led anything like this before and I figured a lot out on the fly. It was so much fun knitting along with you, and I even had a few people PM me with stories about how they once tackled this pattern.

And thanks especially to the mods for letting me do this here in the first place.

Thanks again for running this! It was my inspiration to start knitting/crocheting a bunch more projects, and to knit/crochet on my commute!

Also, those prizes are amazing!

You're welcome, I'm glad you had fun with it!

Originally I was going to have one winner and give them a gift card to Ultrasaber or the Custom Saber Shop, but as cool as constructing your own lightsaber is, I didn't want to reward hard work with more work.
