Thank you all who participated in this contest and sent photos in. It has been a difficult, yet wonderful experience to review each and every photo and choose the finalists for this contest. Following are the finalists, each with a number. Please vote for your favorite, and please make comments if you wish, but your vote counts only if you check the box next to the number assigned to the photo. First prize for the winning photo is a $100 gift certificate to choose products from Briggs and Little, the manufacturer of the yarn specified for the gnome hat in our Fall 2009 issue. In addition, the winner receives a two-year subscription to Living Crafts! All other finalists will receive 2 free back issues of their choice, or 2 extra issues added to their current subscription.
Here are the 17 entries (voting now closed).

And here are the results!

they’re all too cute to choose just one!
I like #1 because it reminds me of my grandson, but they are all so cute and nicely done.
So hard to pick just one, but #10 was my favorite!
