And the winners are…
2018 was a HUGE year for Fandom Knitting + Crochet. Why? Well, it was this blog and community’s birth year! I started this blog in March of 2018 to share my love of fandom-inspired knitting and crocheting, and I was just crossing my fingers that I would find other crafters with similar interests out there in the world.
And…I did! I am so grateful for the fantastic, supportive, inspiring community that is the Fandom Knitting + Crochet Group (which you should totally join if you haven’t already), and these awards are just an indication of the amount of complete geekiness and craftiness and fandom-ness that happen on this blog and in that group.
2018 Fandom Knitting + Crochet Award Categories, Nominations & Votes
The idea of creating our own FKC Awards was really the result of two things. 1) I LOVE awards shows, top 10 (or any number, really) lists, countdowns, etc. and 2) I wanted to have a sort-of time capsule of what was “in” and beloved by people in this group at the end of a year as a sort of recap for posterity.
The categories were just things I thought people would like to vote on and things that we often discuss in the FKC community. Looking back, there are some categories I would like to add, but there’s always next year. (If you have suggestions for categories, let me know in the comments.)
After a call for nominations in those categories, I took the most requested nominees and put together a quick ballot. Voting took place for about a week, and the results were then tallied.
So, without further delay….here are our 2018 Fandom Knitting + Crochet Award Winners!
