If anyone sees a project that doesn't fit the category could you please drop me a note and let me know - often it's cataloguing errors for the original pattern so I'm trying to get them cleaned up.
Thanks, @kersti! I shall have to do some searching...

The Craftree awards are now ready for voting!
So many fabulous submissions this year, what a delight it has been looking at them all.
Please remember to vote and to tell your friends to vote too - voting is open to the world!
The results are up! We've had a crazy Christmas with colds and kids and migraines etc so it took a little longer than we would have liked but if you click on the link https://www.craftree.com/awards/current you can see the winners. Some quite clear voting from our lovely members too - thank-you!
We do have to tidy up a few things here and there but winners are up!

I don't know how, but I didn't realise I was nominated, or that it was time to vote. Only when I noticed there weren't any vote buttons did I figure out it was already done. Bit sad I missed my chance to participate. But!
Thanks everybody who voted for my scarf! It was a crazy project to start, but somehow I finished it. The encouragement I got here on Craftree definitely helped. And now a Craftree award too! Thanks everyone 
I just noticed that on the main Craftree screen I still have the 'nominations now open' button. So maybe that's part of why I missed the voting.
Congratulations to the tatters who won in the different categories of the Craftree Awards! Well done!
