Otis Giraffe CAL Contest 2017 Winner Announcement via @beckastreasures
Contestants were scored out of 60 possible points from the Expert Judge's Panel and 50 possible points from the Family Judge's Panel. Their percentages from their scores were combined together with their percentage from the total overall popular votes.

The results are in, and combining all the scores with the popular votes, everyone received a final score over 100 points; how exciting!

Winners, please check your emails to claim your prizes. Thank you!

1st Prize Winner | Otis Giraffe CAL Contest 2017 Winner Announcement via @beckastreasures
1st Prize goes to Valerie Trozelle Abel:

"
Oliver Giraffe"

Expert Judge's Total Score: 31
Family Judge's Total Score: 53
Total Number of Popular Votes: 29
​

Total Combined Score is 161.5!

Her prize is a 1 month magazine subscription + 31 free crochet patterns from 14 businesses.

Congratulations Valerie!
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."

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."

2nd Prize Winner | Otis Giraffe CAL Contest 2017 Winner Announcement via @beckastreasures
2nd Prize goes to Lindsay Shatto:

"
Otis Giraffe"

Expert Judge's Total Score: 40
Family Judge's Total Score: 37
Total Number of Popular Votes: 53
​

Total Combined Score is 161.2!

Her prize is a 1 month magazine subscription + 22 free crochet patterns from 10 businesses.

Congratulations Lindsay!
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." 

3rd Prize Winner | Otis Giraffe CAL Contest 2017 Winner Announcement via @beckastreasures
3rd Prize goes to Rachel Ballew:

"
Cocoa Limoncello Giraffe"

Family Judge's Total Score: 33
Total Number of Popular Votes: 23
​

Total Combined Score is 146.6!

Her prize is 16 free crochet patterns from 8 businesses.

Congratulations Rachel!
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."
