KAL Week 9

[Marilyn58]

A contest!!! Well, I am glad I am sure everybody will enter BUT will it be like last year? That is, everybody can enter except people living in Quebec?? Big question!

You're right about the laws - unfortunately we can't award Quebec residents with prizes, sorry But there will be some non-material prizes (bragging rights) so you can still participate if you'd like

I'm so sorry to hear the news about our Quebec residents being ineligible for prizes. They have worked just as hard as the rest of us KALers on their afghan. Those who were unaware of the laws concerning this must be so disappointed! I know there is no way around it but I'm still sad for their predicament.

Just want to say great project enjoyed the time I spent with my best friend of 40 years doing the blanket together.
The blankets will keep us warm next winter when we start the next one WE HOPE From 2 old girls in Brockville Ont Canada

so does that mean that they can't accept 'gifts' given them? I mean, like getting a thank-you gifts...and didn't what's-her-name (the singer with the big voice) get an Emmy for something?

Not quite - there are a lot of hoops to jump through to have a contest be considered legally eligible to Quebec participants. It's partly to prevent fake contests from taking place, so it's fair, but it makes it very difficult for us to have an event where the participants win.

Don't worry, We are use to it, at least I am, I learned about that last year. Anyway, I just love Cals and Kals and I did not participate in doing the blankets to enter a contest or win prizes but to be proud of myself achieving something new and I must say unusual; besides, I chatted with a lot of wonderful people and I just hope that Bernat people will do another get together in the near future. I am still "in" and enjoying every minute of it

[Marilyn58]

You have a great attitude, lialab! I joined the KAL to make an afghan and participate in the forums too. It was a surprise to me that there would be prizes of any sort.

Nice hearing from you!
I'm glad you joined in our Knit-Along.

[Shandeh]

Well, maybe we can still have our OWN prizes, where we vote for winners of certain categories. No prize actually given....just an honorable mention by Bernat Forum members. Perhaps we can set up polls for that when the time is right.

Finished my last block today!! I hope I can get the borders finished and get it all put together in time for the contest. I have had so much fun with the KAL and I love my blanket.
