Can I just say, it's hard finding crochet projects to choose from! I'm always worried you guys will hate it and no one will want to participate. Or I find a cool pattern but the photo is ugly so that may affect the voting results. Or the pattern makes absolutely no sense even if it's a simple project....reasons like that. I try to make it so one of the choices is a seasonal item, and the other is something general. How have my choices been so far? Are there things you'd like to see more of?
And I'm going to do voting differently this month. Instead of having a poll where anyone can click just for the sake of clicking, please leave your vote in a comment instead. I'm hoping this will give those who intend to participate a more accurate vote count. If you leave a comment and don't end up participating that is totally fine! I will not be mad so don't feel pressured. I know December is a crazy month for most people and you may just be too busy. No worries. I just think for the last 2 months, random people have been clicking and voting in the polls for whatever reason (maybe they thought the photo was pretty or something?) knowing all along that they will not be making it themselves, and that isn't really fair to influence the results that way. Thanks!
The options for December's CAL are going to be super easy since I know everyone will be busy with the holidays. The choices are...
#1: Jar cozy (image from minxxy)
#2: Slouchy beanie (image from Tania)
As always, you are free to use whichever yarn colors you'd like so don't let the colors in the photos sway your vote! I'll be posting the voting results December 1st. Leave your vote in the comments.

I'm loving the options you have been posting, Honey!! So don't worry!! Don't you hate when you see a great project pic, follow the link and the pattern is just beyond crazy or weird?! Grrr Pinterest - a crocheters best friend and biggest annoyance huh?! hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI think my vote will go to the Beanie... I like them both though, so I'm happy either way.
And thank you so much for the sweet comment and birthday wishes! You Doll! Moogie sends his big sloppy pup kisses to you too :)
Love love,

You have been posting some great projects!!! I have loved everything I've made. I also agree with Sway about the whole pinterest thing!!!
ReplyDeleteI vote for the beanie. It will make for a great last minute gift.... should I forget someone? gasp!
Aw! I'm loving your picks! Don't let picking worry you. If it's something we don't like we can always gift it to someone we know would love it. :) So far, your picks have been great. And very hard to choose which ones to pick.
ReplyDeleteI want the BEANIE for myself, so I'm definitely choosing that one. Ha ha!
I love your choices, I don't think I'll have time next month but I love the beanie, so I would choose that if I did (I have so many christmas crochet things to do still, what have you started? :D)
ReplyDeleteI want to do the Slouchy beanie! So cute and I've always wanted to make one!!
ReplyDeleteI'm almost done with the pillow!! I love how it's turning out! Can't wait to see everyone's! (:

ReplyDeleteBeanie!
ReplyDeleteSlouchie beanie please!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely loving the beanie! Every beanie pattern I've ever tried has turned out wonky, so I'd love to try another one and see if I can get it to look nice! Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with everyone else, all your choices so far have been great! Thank you for doing this!
Slouchy Beanie! I have been dying to make one! :)
ReplyDeleteI vote slouchy beanie!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVoting for the slouchy beanie, it looks fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm voting for the beanie! I actually feel kinda guilty for voting on both last projects, but not having the time to make the projects.. I need to do this one, this time!
ReplyDeleteI'm voting for the beanie, and actually plan on finishing this one. ;)
ReplyDeleteI vote for the hat. Hats are a bit more useful around here than jar cozies.
ReplyDeleteI vote for the beanie!
ReplyDeleteI had already decided to make this beanie, but a CAL would be fun. Slouchy beanie for me and I am participating. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I can actually participate in this Monty's CAL - hooray! I'm voting for the beanie - my hair is a hot mess a lot of the time now that I'm caring for my little one. A good beanie solves that problem ;)
