And the winners are . . .

Sorry everyone that this post is so late. I have been caught up in the joys of being home and have hardly even been on the computer, let alone post on the blog. Anyway, here are all of the winners for the contest. Great job everyone! The books have already been sent out, so the winners already know they won, although they might not know what for :) Hope you all enjoy your books! Great big thanks to John Macarthur, John Piper, CJ Mahaney, The girltalkers, and Josh Harris for donating these books to the project!

Most Durable: There was no duct tape hats or anything like that (just kidding, I don’t really want duct tape hats) so this prize was a little harder. I’m going to have to give this award to Annable Zandi for one of her knifty knitter hats. I know quite a few of you made those kind of hats, but she made the most, so she gets the prize :) These hats are quite amazing. They have a knitted look, and are made with wacky colors or just soft colors combined. Oftentimes they are double stranded and do definitely fit in the durable category.


Hat that looks most like Brett Harris’ hat: This was easy to figure out. Only one family even attempted this one. . . . So the winner is Myra! This hat is pink, but it looks so like Brett’s only in a girl form. That is amazing Myra, and I want the pattern now!!!


Best first hat: This totally goes to Myra’s brother! Good grief! I could never never make one like that first time. Good job “Myra’s brother!”


The Gitty Up Award: this category did not have much action in it, so I’m going to have to go a little wacky here. This prize is going to Dorcas for her bear hat that she made! This hat doesn’t make me want to get up and ride a mule, but it would make a mule do a major “gitty up” if I were riding him.


Most Creative: Tomato hat by Laura V; “polar bear” hat by Samantha (Sam’s friend); the amazing bunny hat by Andrea Naill; and Mary Beth’s elf hat


Most one of a kind: Samantha’s beret that she made up! I couldn't quite figure out how she did it, but she used a couple of different sizes of hookes and different stitches . . . it ended up being super cute!


Most elaborate: Jess Pruit with this hat. Ok, so I don’t think you can see the different stitches used, but it’s pretty funky. I really liked it and it made one super cute hat!
