Hi everyone,

Those of you who have ventured over to the Challenges section of the forum will have noticed we set regular practical challenges with some great prizes up for grabs!

We've got a bumper stash of yarn to give away to one lucky winner - and the challenge is:
Knit anything using one ball of yarn or less!

It doesn't matter which yarn, what size needles....anything goes.

Only one entry per member please. To enter, post a pic of your finished item in response to this thread by 5.30pm [UK time] on the 20th July. The winner will be announced in a new thread on 21st July.

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

I'm with Annie, can you use something else to embellish eg. eyes?

I've just finished my jelly baby which takes a lot less than one ball but i've used another yarn to add eyes and a mouth, if this is ok then i'll post a piccie here if not then no problem just an excuse to make something else cool smile

Thanks

You can add additional bits and pieces to embroider/embellish but the main part of the project must be made with one ball of yarn or less.
