The contest conditions were very simple: dial 30 loops and knit with any pattern, and after 2 hours we compared whose "scarf" was the longest. To judge our competition, we invited company employees Crafts crafts. These craftswomen know how to knit on very thick knitting needles and even just on their hands, which they successfully demonstrated to an amazed audience. In addition, the company has prepared 3 special prizes for the most creative work.

At our holiday, a cheerful friendly atmosphere reigned, the host asked all the participants how long they had become addicted to this useful hobby, which models considered their highest achievement and what they like to knit more. Everyone joked a lot, exchanged experiences, attached themselves to memories.
More and more new participants joined us throughout the marathon. Although they understood that they would not be able to overtake those who started from the very beginning, they just wanted to sit in our circle and tie them too. It's so contagious!

So we had a very friendly and fun time. After the final whistle, the results were summed up. Incentive prizes from the company "Spinner" received all the men who knew how to knit, because it is such a rarity in our time. Also prizes from "Spinning Mania" were received by 10 needlewomen, who had the longest knitted works. Three prizes were awarded by the craftsmen of Crafts Lab to those participants whose products seemed to them the most creative. But no one was left without gifts. In addition to prizes from our sponsors, all participants received special issues of the magazine Burda knitting Verena andCreazion. All connected items were combined into one long scarf and, making a memorable photo of all the participants, they decorated a tree in the Yarnbombing style with this scarf.
