Upcoming!

As you know, I have been wanting to make Derse and Prospit dreamer scarves, as well as aspect scarves, but I am very unsatisfied with the way that tapestry crochet looks. I believe that I have found a way to incorporate symbols using Tunisian crochet, in which the scarf will look decent from both the back and the front. I hope. I'll be doing some experimenting but if it doesn't work out I will move back to tapestry style and try to find a way to make cleaner designs.

When all 12 aspects, Prospit, Derse, and a hemospectrum scarf have been completed I will hold a giveaway which will take place both here and on tumblr. One grand prize winner will receive an aspect scarf, one of the dreamer scarves, and the hemospectrum scarf. The second place winner will receive an aspect scarf and the remaining dreamer scarf. 10 runners up will receive an aspect scarf. Here's how the winner will be chosen:

I will divide the contestants into 12 groups, based on aspect (I will collect aspect and dreamer preferences for each contestant). From those 12 groups I will choose 2 winners each, one from Prospit and one from Derse. This brings the contestant pool down to 24. Then, for each of the groups I will flip a coin and one winner from each pair will be chosen. The 12 the come out on top in the coin toss will automatically receive an aspect scarf. From the 12 aspect winners, I will make two groups: one Prospit and one Derse. If I'm lucky it will be an even split but most likely not. I will randomly select one winner from each other groups, and these two will receive a dreamer scarf. Finally, I will set the two dreamer winners against each other in a coin toss. Winner of the toss will receive the hemospectrum scarf. It's like a fucked up tournament of sorts???

It makes sense in my head.

Anyway, I will be posting the patterns for these scarves as I make them and the giveaway will take place when they are done. Last time I did a giveaway it was with the hats and I picked winners before I even made any of them and they took me over a year to complete and the last one didn't get sent because the winner remade their tumblr and I couldn't find them so they could give me an address. This time it will be done properly. The scarf thing is very complicated and I have an intense credit load this semester but I promise I will be slowly but surely working on this.

OOOOOOOH. Maybe I could add Cherub scarves to the mix and make this interesting? The algorithm won't change, but maybe I will pick two runners up that didn't win aspect scarves and give the Cherubs to them? Just a thought.

I will also work on the zodiac designs for scarves but that might have to wait for a second giveawat. Maybe I'll lump the cherubs in with that one.
