It's too bad there isn't a sweater hacking challenge. These days I'm all about finding wool sweaters at the thrift store, felting them, and remaking them - whether it's cashmere, merino, angora...

I dont understand the prize table thing up top... it says 5 enteries, 10 entries... is that how many entries you have to have done to be eligible or what?

Nov 19, 2011. 9:17 PM

sunshiine says:

Under the words winner list the prizes. Yes, we need 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 in order to receive the prizes in that tier. There are only 1 winner for tier 1 and 2. If we have 25 entries then there are 4 total winners and so on. I am not sure but if there are 11 - 24 there will be only 1 winner. If we reach 25 then there are 4 winners. Please consider making something so there will be more winners! Sunshiine
