When will the awards ceremony take place?
Since there is a holiday this week, the awards ceremony may be postponed accordingly. But everyone will be entered over the course of the week.

I’m not an author; can I still join in?
All users and authors can join in. You don’t have to be an author to be allowed to participate here. Just write in the final sprint thread and you’ll be included in the awards ceremony.

No one goes away empty-handed. Every (small ) step counts. Everyone receives at least one title.
No one goes offline without an honorary title or without extra karma points / bonus points. If someone had many everyday challenges in September, that can also be recognized, at the user’s / author’s request, with a fitting honorary title or with extra karma points / bonus points. If necessary, I’ll invent a new honorary title to match the individually overcome challenges. That’s all no problem.

Earn extra points / bonus points and improve your own karma:
- For (only your own uploaded ) photos / pictures, there are of course always extra points. Please do not upload third-party images / images that do not belong to you (e.g., from the internet ). I have to delete those.
- Finished handmade items that are given to dear people as gifts always bring extra karma points / bonus points too, to appropriately recognize the time / effort / energy spent on them.
--> Please provide the relevant details here in the thread.
- Feedback for our authors ( e.g., reviews, comments, etc. ) is also always rewarded with extra points.
--> Please write down details if applicable.

The fir trees are wonderful as a project to take along, since the little trees are very compact and quite straightforward to crochet. They make great decorations, not only for Christmas.    

Frogging Monster Conqueror in the month of September.

Details:

There were still a few lovely days when we had a tasty barbecue on our balcony.
We also went on vacation, a few days in Strasbourg and then to Lake Constance—the weather there was great, we walked a lot, were usually still able to sit outside for dinner in the evenings, and saw so much. 







[ x ] I had / have also made preparations beyond crafting for fall / Halloween / Advent / Christmas, etc.

My Halloween/fall decorations are ready, and I’ve started decorating. And the first Christmas gift has already been bought.

Details about that:
Altogether I finished 12 pieces.
One large and one small bag, 2 baby hats, 5 pairs of baby shoes, 1 pair of leggings for my little Max. I test-knitted 2 pieces on a secret mission; I’m not allowed to reveal anything about them yet.

[x ] I was also very busy offline / in normal everyday life in September.
Write details here if you’d like to share them:
Our grapes were harvested this month, then processed into delicious grape juice and grape jelly. 
I also finished two concrete leaves; I gave one of them to an acquaintance for her birthday.

I’m done with the awards ceremony now (you can find it above in the first post of this thread).
It’s great that you all joined in again this time. You all obviously had a productive September. I wish you a wonderful October with plenty of time for crafting, lots of creative ideas, finished projects, and relaxation.

Who else would like to take part in the awards ceremony?

Josefa, you summed that up perfectly in just a few words. And yet my post ended up being quite long. I’m amazed myself at everything I managed to accomplish in September—despite having less time.

Thanks for this thread. It’s always a pleasure to be a part of it.

As always, the awards ceremony was a lot of fun — thanks for that, Josefa :)

Thanks, Josefa. As always, the awards ceremony is motivating!

Thank you so much for the awards ceremony, Josefa.
It’s just so much fun to take part.

Once again, your awards ceremony is fantastic, Josefa! You’re so creative at coming up with new titles all the time!
I hope my current momentum lasts as long as possible—I have so many ideas (and sooo much yarn!)

Thanks for your effort, Josefa.
Your creative honorary titles here put me in a good mood, especially the “Cozy Wool Queen.”

Glad you enjoyed it. :-)
