hehe Yeah. The fun part about it is that it cost me less than $20 for the yarn because most of it was just leftovers I had laying around or from Mary Ann. And you don't use up a whole skein of each color for the sleeves so you could probably get 3-4+ sleeve pairs out of each. The body was just about 4 skeins of wool-ease (would have been 4 for the XL size).

And I'm just copying this PM I sent to Jan. I'm hoping to get some input from everyone:

I've been brainstorming ways to get more exposure and thought it might be good if we advertised whatever the theme was in the appropriate FCs (if there were any for that particular theme). I'm also wondering if we could come up with a better way to choose the "winner" than just first to post. That's a fair way so that "anyone" can win but, then those doing crafts that just take longer (ie: knitting) might be dissuaded from entering. I also know I feel kind of like it's pointless to even start a project if someone's already posted so, I wonder if members don't feel the same way. hmmm...

Oh! Maybe we can continue to have the first person to post in a given challenge gets to post the next challenge but, we could have an overall kind of winner or some sort of incentive (usertitles are over done but, could be that) to enter the challenges. For example: if you enter __ challenges in a row you get an official 'HP Crafter' title/siggy/avatar/userpic/whatever. And every person to enter a challenge will be entered (if they'd like) in a contest where members can vote on their favorite piece (maybe have diff categories) and the winner(s) get... something HP Crafty or supplies/gift cert toward more supplies or something.

I think I'll post this up in the craft forum and maybe we can all come up with something. Members have better ideas than me most times and this will get their perspective on what they'd like.
