Time for a scavenger hunt!

Time for a scavenger hunt!

I'll start with a prompt; you reply to this with a link to a pattern from the FOYAL database that matches it, and a new prompt for the next person to reply to.

Links should be to either the database or the designer's website. Try to not repeat patterns, & to let at least 2 other people reply before you play again.

We'll draw winners December 11 at noon Pacific time.

Find me a pattern with an example photo that uses your favorite color of yarn.

The Person Below Me...

If there's one thing we all love on Tumblr, it's making assumptions about the people who reblog our posts. So let's have some FOYAL fun with it.

Reblog this post and tell us whether the last prompt in the thread is true or false for you, and a new prompt for the next person ("the person below me" or TPBM). We'd prefer prompts to be about FOYAL, but let's at least keep them fiber-arts-related.

Everyone in the thread by noon Pacific time on November 27 will have a chance to win a pattern from a participating designer.

Let's get this started.

The person below me is working on a FOYAL project in their favorite color of yarn.

Similar Stitching

Let's play Similar Stitching!

I'll start with a link to a pattern in the FOYAL database, and a photo of that pattern. Reblog and add a photo and link for a pattern that has some similarity to the previous design (like the same craft, colors, yarn weight, design features, etc). We'd also appreciate a brief description of what the patterns have in common, but that's not required.

You can reply multiple times, but please leave at least two posts by other people between your entries. Invite your friends to play! We'll draw winners on December 24 after 3pm Pacific.

Your first pattern is:

Random question time!

Who or what is keeping you company while you craft? This doesn't have to be a person or animal--what are you watching/reading? do you go somewhere special to work?

Reblog or reply with your answers before noon Pacific time on December 19. Everyone who does will be entered in a random drawing to win a pattern prize!

During the Fasten Off Yarnalong, we have a lot of activities. One of those is our annual Bingo game. How many boxes have you checked off so far?

Please share your card(s) at any level of completion for a chance to win a prize! We'll draw a random winner from all comments with a card in progress 48 hours from now.

Curious about these famous Bingo cards? We introduced them in this post.

The person below me...

Time for another round of TPBM!

Reblog this post and tell us whether the last prompt in the thread is true or false for you, and a new prompt for the next person ("the person below me" or TPBM). We'd prefer prompts to be about FOYAL, but let's at least keep them fiber-arts-related.

Everyone in the thread by noon Pacific time on Friday, December 13 will have a chance to win a pattern from a participating designer.

The person below me has taken a day off from this year's FOYAL project at some point to rest their hands.
