That's a very impressive collection. You have been busy! They all look very nice. I particularly like the twisted top and the Abby cardigan.

wow!What a great collection MrsThrifty!
I think I've dropped the ball at the final hurdle [mixed metaphors or what?]
No time or energy to take photos of the finished collection, but everything is getting lots of wear and lots of compliments so I'm more than happy.  I'll do a  blog post instead, when I recover from this dip in energy
C'est moi!

Fabulous collection @MrsThrifty . I had to check where you lived when you said you were sweltering in 38C. In the UK we are freezing in 38F. I'm always really impressed by those of you who sew WAP or WAKOP. I seem to sew OAW (on a whim).  :D

Wow! Well done to all 3 entrants. It was very hard to cast just one vote as they're all so good, but I went with the collection I'd like to have made. Maybe next time I'll enter - ooh, there goes a flying pig!

I have voted but it was a very close run thing. They are all worthy of winning and all entrants should feel very proud of themselves - well done!!

@MrsThrifty what a great collection - you look terrific! The collection looks both comfortable and stylish. And yay for getting those photos in just in the nick of time.

@DementedFairy sorry you couldn't quite get there, I was so looking forward to seeing your collection. Let us know when the blogpost goes up, so we can check it out. :)

I haven't found the voting thread yet, so will head off to look for it now.

My goodness, it's difficult, isn't it? :S I've looked at all the collections over and over again. They're all amazing but it's so hard to decide. I have voted but would have liked to vote for all of them. :)

I also voted and had a hard time deciding which one to vote for.  Really excellent job everyone.

Hi all, sorry I did not do more photos of the SWAKOP pieces (or any of me wearing them). I've not been too well and its been dark and cold so no outdoor photos. The plus side for me is I have been wearing the knit tops from my collection over and over and love them :-)
