 Can the knitting category be knitting and crochet or just knitting? or would I have to submit crochet projects to the "other" category. What a fun contest!!

Yes, it counts under knitting which we're going to change to yarn projects thanks to your question. I don't even know the difference between knitting and crocheting! How does it work?

Also someone pm-ed to ask if moms and dads can upload crafts made by children. YES! In the "other" category, you can upload photos of drawing and paintings, ceramics and pottery by you or your children.

 To get very basic knitting is with two needles (or more) and crochet is usually with one hook. The differences expound from there but that's the short story ;)

Thanks Christa! Now to figure out what to enter... lol

Yes. You can enter twice or three times in jewelry if you think you have three pieces that could win.

So cool!  It says comment between March 26-Apri 2nd, but I noticed there's already been some comments.  Is that ok, will those comments still be up if they're early?
