Dear users, dear authors,
so here is the thread for the awards ceremony.

You can read about the November projects here:
Part 1 of the November projects:
November Projects: Fun in the Crazypatterns Crafting Group (No advertising)
Part 2 of the November projects is included in this thread. At the beginning of December, I then renamed the thread.
December Projects: The Crazypatterns Crafting Group (No advertising)

Participation in the final stretch and awards ceremony: How is it done?
Copy the section a little further down between the asterisks into your text field / the reply field, fill it out accordingly, or delete what does not apply.

When will the awards ceremony take place?
The awards ceremony will take place around December 4/5/6. Everyone will still be added.

I am a user, not a Crazypatters author; can I still join in?
All users and authors can join in. Simply write a post in the final-stretch thread and you will be part of the awards ceremony.

Everyone receives at least one title. Nobody goes offline without a title / without extra bonus points
If someone had many challenges in their offline everyday life in November, this can also, at the user’s / author’s request, be recognized with a fitting honorary title or with extra karma points / bonus points. If necessary, I will come up with a new honorary title.

Earn extra points / bonus points and improve your karma:
- There are always extra points for (only your own uploaded) photos / pictures. Please do not upload third-party images / images that do not belong to you (e.g., from the internet). I will delete them.
- Finished handmade items that are given to loved ones as gifts always also earn extra karma points / bonus points, to properly recognize the time / effort / energy spent on them.
--> Please provide details about this here in the thread in each case.
- Feedback for our authors (e.g., reviews, comments, etc.) is also always rewarded with extra points.
--> Please write down details if applicable.

Hi Josefa. Thank you so much for the great titles.

It’s always a pleasure to read your award ceremonies.

I won’t become an "inner-demons conqueror." I’m actually just waiting for the birthday gift card from my coworkers for my yarn shop, and then it’s time to shop. :-)

I’m almost out of yarn 

Okay, I’ve got Ruth too.

Who else is in?

OK, Arni.
Have fun shopping :-)
Thanks for the kind words.

Thank you so much, Josefa, for the lovely titles.

But I definitely won’t be getting a title for the yarn diet.

I’ve been trying for over a week now to convince my sweetheart to go yarn shopping with me. We made it through our vacation without any shopping. Now I’m even tempting him with a hike through beautiful meadows combined with a detour to the yarn shop. Maybe on Saturday, if the sun is out—who knows.

It’s been soooo long since I’ve bought any yarn; it’s getting harder and harder for me. 

Thank you so much, Josefa! Short, sweet, and right to the point. :-)

Thank you very much, Josefa, for the award ceremony—which, as always, was very motivating!

Thanks, Josefa
The awards ceremony is wonderful, as always.

Please keep in mind that there will be no UFO Week in December, and there won’t be an awards ceremony for the December projects either. The next UFO Week will take place during the last week of January, with the awards ceremony in early February.

Is anyone still missing from the awards ceremony for the November projects?

Josefa, we’ve already got quite a few crowns piling up here :-) It was fun again.

@WollwunderPetra,
have fun buying yarn.

It’s lovely that you all joined in.
Thank you for your kind words.
I wish you all a wonderful December.

It was fun once again.
Thanks for the great titles, dear Josefa :)
