October 1st voting opens

Entries will be randomly allocated to groups by the Stitch Factor Coordinator.

Each group will contain up to five entries (may be less depending on number of entries). Each week members of the forum can vote for entries in a group. The entries with the lowest number of votes will be knocked out.

At the end of rounds the semi final group will contain four entries. The two with the lowest number of votes will be knocked out.

The final will be between two entries.

If you want to enter there's a link to A Crafty Natter in the side bar - I look forward to hearing from you and Good Luck.
