Pocket Alien & UFO · Submissions & Results! · Creator Challenge #8

 

Dear fellow crocheters,

I'm pleased to announce that the RESULTS for Sweet Softies' eighth annual Creator Challenge are here!  This year, the featured pattern is the Pocket Alien & UFO. My little aliens were so excited to meet their new siblings and take over the Earth! 


Want to make your own pocket alien and UFO as well?  You can get free pattern links here by scrolling down to the "Pattern Links" section! 

It's the best yarny invasion ever. Little crocheted aliens and UFOs from this pattern landed on and explored our world, as documented in the Sweet Softies FB group and on Instagram!

It was amazing to see all the creativity and talent that came with customizing your aliens and UFOs! The yarn combinations, yarn fibers used, and other embellishments really made each alien and UFO set unique and special. 

I sincerely hope all participants had a fun time making their mini space invaders!


Without further ado, here are the submissions!

Take a look at all these unique dragons!  

Included are all of the submissions made before the October 1st deadline with the hashtag #sweetsoftiescreatorchallenge.



Winner

The winner of Sweet Softies' Eighth Creator Challenge goes to...

Cookies Kwan! 



Cookies Kwan (in the Sweet Softies Facebook Group) made a Hello Kitty-themed alien! Is this not the cutest thing ever?! It works so well with the pattern! 

Please join me in congratulating our winner!  As winner of the Creator Challenge, Cookies Kwan will be receiving a $10 coupon code to Sweet Softies' Ravelry store!


All of the aliens that were made during the Creator Challenge were absolutely adorable and special in their own ways! Thank you all so much for participating in this event of mine.  I look forward to hosting another Creator Challenge next year!
