Your Camp Cast Away T-shirt Finalists

First of all, thank you so much to everyone of you, who took the time and energy to submit an entry to our contest.  Steph and I had such great fun watching all these wonderful entries as they came in. After the first few it was obvious to both of us that we were going to have our work cut out for us, but when we ended up with more than thirty submissions, we knew it was going to be really, really hard to narrow it down, but somehow we did. We used printing guidelines and contrast and all sorts of things to make up our minds – which is good, because if it was just about which ones we liked? We’d never have gotten it down to these.

As we’ve said before knitters are a talented bunch – our humble thanks and a round of knitterly applause to everyone who entered.

We’ve numbered each entry for voting. You vote by picking your absolute favourite one. Please identify your favourite by its number, and leave that in the comments on this post. One choice per knitter please.  You have until the 12th of March to cast your vote here.

Without further ado, your finalists:

    OOOh!  There are so many good ones, but I have to go with Michelle #9.  The pirate sheep is adorable with the knitting needle bewteen his teeth.

    November 30, -0001
  42. Leslie #

    Prefer #9. Love the fact they used a sheep pirate, clutching a knitting needle in its teeth – ewe know it’s the best! (Sorry, couldn’t resist a good sheep pun…)

    November 30, -0001

    Number 2 (Carla and Gwen ) gets my vote from over the sea…..enjoy yourselves me hearties.

    November 30, -0001
  48. Definitely #4 by Cheryl.

    Outstanding art, masterful drawing. However, the kicker is that it’s full of knitters who are obsessed by, touching, drooling over the stash of yarn, and a knit sock!

    November 30, -0001
  49. Ella #

    #2.  Love so many of these, though!

    I love so many! But #3 has my vote. I have the same question as so many others—will non-attendees get to buy swag?

    Here’s hoping!

    #9.  Look at those hooves holding that sock.  WAY too adorable.  Definitely a tough choice and it took a long time to decide! Great job everyone!

    November 30, -0001
  91. hazel smith #

    Number 9! It’s clean and clear, great colors, minimal words(I might like to add Camp Castaway). Besides, who wouldn’t love a sheep with a knitting needle held between his teeth?

    Cheers and red wine, Hazel.
