Let's Meet the Otis Giraffe Contestants!

Again, the judges' final scores for these contestants are not being revealed - only the winners' official scores will be shared at the end of the contest. That said, I will reveal here the HIGHEST individual judge's score given to each contestant.

Keep in mind, just because you have one really high score from one judge, doesn't mean you have the best overall score. The reverse is true as well. All of you did very well! ?

​About Anjana's Giraffe:
​"I have used acrylic for the Giraffe."

"Mostly I have used the traditional method. Only for the head, I have used recommended route. I just feel that traditional method is faster to work with." 

"I love working with amigurumi. Though I have been working a lot with amigurumi, I am still learning to work with animals. This will be gifted to my grand niece."


​​Anjana's Pattern Review:
​"I loved working on this CAL. The instructions were so simple to follow. When I was following the traditional method, I did not refer to the videos. The recommended route was a bit challenging, hence I used video tutorials for the head.  Like the written instructions, they were simple and easy to follow."

​About Lindsay's Giraffe:
​"Otis was not my first amigurumi, but the first that I actually started playing around with the details! Using different textured yarn and playing around with the eyes was a fun experience and I love how he turned out. Plus, he looks great in his glamour shots!"

​Lindsay's Pattern Review:
​"I loved how detailed the pattern was, and that it was easy to follow. Rebeckah was great with helping anybody with questions and is always giving positive feedback. The live q&a sessions were fun and it was a great opportunity for anyone to ask questions."

Highest Judge Score: 8

​About Val's Giraffe:
​"This was my first CAL and I didn't know what that meant, now I do. Since I am new to crochet I bought Bernat Handycrafter yarn, so if I couldn't crochet him, I wouldn't be out too much money." ?

"I followed the recommended route as I didn't know how to do the traditional, and it looked like a lot of sewing."

"I crochet Otis because I thought he looked so cute and I wanted to try to do an amigurumi. Otis has already gone to his new home."

​Val's Pattern Review:
​"I loved crocheting Otis. There was some frustrating times when I was ripping out rows and trying to figure out how to read the pattern, but the videos always answered my questions and got me through. They were really well done. The only time it was hard was when the picture was very high on the screen and you couldn't quite see the stitches. But, I managed to figure it out. I needed the videos to help explain the written pattern."

"This was a Fun and Fast project. I am definitely going to crochet some more."

"Thank you for all your help and encouragement."

​About Cathy's Giraffe:
"​I made my Otis using Stylecraft Special DK yarn - using two colours from my stash. I wanted my giraffe to look natural on this occasion. I decided to use safety eyes for Otis too - again to create a more natural look."

​​Cathy's Pattern Review:
​"This was my first amigurumi project and I loved it!! I have also received some really great comments from my family and friends who have seen Otis up close!"

"The pattern was extremely easy to follow, but having the added bonus of a video to follow was even better!"

"I fully intend to make at least one more giraffe - using rainbow colours - and I now have the confidence to develop my amigurumi skills and work on other projects like this! So thank you Rebeckah xx"

Contestant-009 ~ Flora Giraffe by Kristina Kousgaard

Contestant-009 Flora Giraffe by Kristina Kousgaard! | Meet the 2017 #OtisGiraffeCAL #Contestants via @beckastreasures here: https://goo.gl/bY53CX | Public voting from June 12-26, 2017 here: https://goo.gl/bgz6wH | #FREE #CAL available in #English #Dansk #Nederlands #Deutsche #עִברִית #Español & #Svenska - See it here: https://goo.gl/9Fvu2Z | #otis #giraffe #amigurumi #crochet #pattern #contest #April #May #June #YouTube
Highest Judge Score: 9

​About Kristina's Giraffe:
​​"I have made many amigurumis. I thought it was fun and relaxing with these projects. I was very exciting with this new way of joining things together gradually, and I would of course try it out. As a starting point, I used the written pattern but had to use the videos a few times, which was a great help."

"What challenged me the most was that the pattern categorized the right side, where I normally have it as the wrong side. So in relation to how the spots were crocheted, I had to think backwards - but I thought it was okay anyway. When I was halfway with my head, I discovered that one horn had not gone far enough - no one is perfect and neither is my Flora (Otis) : o)"

"My inspiration for the colors has probably been my new little niece, Stella, from February - a much wished for child who has finally been born after 4 years of trying."

"I like to use 100% cotton for my crochet projects especially when it's for baby toys, because it needs to be washed at 60 degrees. My Flora (Otis) is about 28 cm high, in the colors is pale pink, dark pink and dark purple "


About Kristina's Giraffe in Her Native Tongue:
​"Jeg har lavet mange amigurumis. Jeg syntes det er sjovt og afslappende med disse projekter. Det lød rigtig spændende med denne nye måde at hækle tingende sammen efterhånden, og det skulle jeg selvfølgelig prøve af. Som udgangspunkt brugte jeg den skriftlige opskrift, men måtte et par gange benytte mig af dine video'er som var en rigtig god hjælp."

"Det der udfordrede mig mest var at det opskriften kategorisere som forside plejer at være min bagside, så i forhold til hvordan pletterne skulle hækles på måtte jeg tænke spejlvendt - men jeg syntes det blev okay alligevel. Da jeg var halvvejs med hovedet opdagede jeg at det ene horn ikke var blevet langt nok - ingen er perfekt og det er min Flora (Otis) heller ikke :o)"

"Min inspiration til farverne har nok været min lille ny niece Stella fra februar - ønskebarn som har været 4 år undervejs med lægers hjælp."

"Jeg ynder at bruge 100% cotton til mine hækleprojekter især når det er til babylegetøj, for det skal kunne vaskes ved 60 grader. Min Flora (Otis) er omkring 28 cm høj, er i farverne sart rosa, mørk rosa og mørk lilla"


​Kristina's Pattern Review:
"This is the first time I have participated in a CAL through Rebeckah's Treasures, and I will definitely do it again if I get the time (I'm finishing my education). It has been fun and challenging even though I have been crochet through 20 years and I can certainly see the trick in crocheting the spots as the project takes shape. I would also like to use the new method next time I crochet a project with spots."

In Kristina's Review in Her Native Tongue:
​"Det er første gang jeg har deltaget i en CAL gennem Rebeckahs Treasures, og jeg vil helt sikkert gøre det igen hvis jeg får tiden (jeg er ved at afslutte min uddannelse). Det har været sjovt og udfordrende selvom jeg har hæklet gennem 20 år, og jeg kan helt sikkert se fidusen i at hækle pletterne på efterhånden som projektet tager form. Jeg vil også sagtens kunne finde på at gøre brug af den nye metode næste gang jeg hækler et projekt med pletter."

​About Marilyn's Giraffes:
​"I used Red Heart super saver and 5mm hook and was inspired by April the giraffe. that is why I did the baby giraffe. I used the traditional way and all the videos which I felt very comfortable keeping up with it."

Highest Judge Score: 10

About Valerie's Giraffe:

"​Materials: #10 crochet thread/1.50 hook. I chose four colors (orange, tan, black, off white) for the body and turquoise blue eyes. This is my second amigurumi since Goldfishy was my first."

Goldfishy is an amigurumi crochet pattern in my shop! Valerie was one of my testers for it. See it here...

Valerie's Pattern Review:
​"I greatly enjoyed making Otis Giraffe CAL and learned so much more from your video tutorials. They surely are most helpful. I love the way how we add spots as we crochet along instead of sewing them on later. I prefer attaching, carrying thread/yarn through stitches while crocheting and try to avoid as much weaving in at the end of projects."

"For this Otis Giraffe, I wanted to change the design a little such as longer neck, longer face with marking from muzzle up to top of head, bigger ears, and add mane."

"I hope we will have more CAL with you. Thank you so much Rebeckah for all your dedication, hard work, great ideas, and help to us."

Highest Judge Score: 9

​About Rachel's Giraffe:
"I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn in colors Platoon, Cafe Latte, and Bright Yellow. I wanted to make the colors opposite than what giraffes are more like."

​"I followed the traditional route for making the giraffe. I changed the last round of the nose by omitting the last round and doing an extra round of the the previous step. I added a couple more rounds in the neck to make it a longer. I also changed up the tail as well by making it a little longer and made up the end so it's more of a ball with a pointed tip."


Rachel's Pattern Review:
​"I really enjoyed this pattern! I love that there is a ton of explanations, pictures, and videos to help you out. I also love the option to connect the pieces as you go or you can connect them all in the end."
