2014/85 – Fraggle amigurumi pattern by competition winner, epicyarns!

So a few weeks ago we posted a competition to get your blog shared, here on UK Crochet Patterns. I really liked doing this and seeing what you guys have been making so will probably do this again sometime.

Anyway, the first one I want to share is an amigurumi pattern shared by epicyarns, who were first to respond to our original competition post. Look at this Fraggle pattern! Aren’t they gorgeous?!

Fans of Fraggle Rock are really going to enjoy this. Take a look!

Call for for blog posts! Let us promote you!

Hey guys!

I’d like to think that we post some pretty interesting and quirky things, many from fellow bloggers and professional crocheters with a business. I’d also like to think that it helps give these people a bit of a leg up when we do that and you guys visit their blogs/pages.

So I would like to extend you the invitation to send in any free patterns that you would like us to share and promote!

If you want us to share your post/blog, then post in the comments below with the name/title of your pattern, the level of dexterity, and we’ll pick 5 to share over the next few weeks.

2nd prize – a fabulous guest post.

3rd prize – a side bar ad above the directory drop-down from Sept 21st to 30th.

The only condition is that you mention winning in your own next blog post.

 

All you need to do is LIKE this post and the Big Fat Fluffy Ginger Adjudicator will pick winners on Friday 20th September.

The competition details are here, so go and have a look! We’d love to see what you come up with!

Closing date is August 31st.

First and second people to click this win …

Judit from MonsterYarns won the first set and has sent us a lovely review – to be posted tomorrow!

Thank you again to Red Heart for sending these lovely things!

Remember our guest post contest?

Well, the original winner seems to have disappeared. We sincerely hope everything is ok with her and will reserve her guest posting spot.

In the meantime, the lovely Eve from Eden’s Lace has stepped up in grand fashion (the Big Fat Independent Ginger Adjudicator likes her) and written you the most beautiful post, which we’ll be putting up tomorrow, Sunday. You can see a sneak preview of the content here.

Thank you loads, Eve! We are positive everyone will love your post! We really appreciate how hard you’ve worked on it!
