If different from the previous question, what was the first fiber art thing you made? What’s your favorite thing to make?

This is her update, in case you missed it in the forum: Sorry to anyone who has bothered to send me choices. This means you may be competing against your own items, but it’ll all be out there to see. The options for the first poll (Accessories) can be seen here, then go here to vote for your favorite. The poll is only open to EtsyFAST members. Tags: contest, monthly challenge Info about the November challengeThis month the challenge is slightly different from usual. You can still do the challenge as you normally would (just tag the relevant items- in this case, ones that are $90 or higher- with “novemberchallenge” and make a post about it in the yahoo group so we can all ooh and aah over it), but there’s also a contest going on this month. Members will be entered into the contest automatically, unless they have multiple items in one category. This is the info Carrie gave in the yahoo group, and I’ll post it here, too, in case anyone missed it: I plan to post the first group of polls on the 15th or so, and then do 1-2 more rounds before the final voting. Items need to be listed by the end of Nov for the poll. Pictures will be viewed on a web page, and the corresponding polls will be on this group. If you have more than one item per category, please email me with your choice to be entered. (Also let me know if an item from this challenge that sold already should be entered, as I have no way to access those unless you let me know.) Like she said, she’s also looking for donations for the prizes, so if you’d like to help out there, send her an email. Also, make sure your tags are correct! They should be “etsyfast team” and “novemberchallenge” (both without the quotes, of course).

Inviting All Knitters, Crocheters and Weavers!  The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh is launching a project for November that will theme public programming at the Museum around knitting, crocheting and weaving. To coordinate with the Mister Rogers’ Sweater Drive, which collects sweaters for needy families in our lobby, we will host a month-long series of knitting/crocheting/weaving workshops for children and create tree sweaters on the trees in front of the Museum. The tree sweaters will be a collaborative art installation by folks all over Pittsburgh. Here’s how you or your needly network can get involved: -Bring your colorful, handwoven sweater sections to be incorporated into the tree sweaters. Include playful pockets, buttons, ribbons, whatever you like! Don’t forget a weather-proof tag with the name of the individual or group who made it. Sections should be 4’-4’6” in length to fit the circumference of our trees. More info can be found here.
