As crazy as this is going to sound, our Finished Object Photo Contest really is too close to call. And, for once, we can’t put the result down to my sub-par math skills. When I kept getting different results every time I counted the votes, I enlisted the help of three impartial individuals including an accountant. And their results? Too close to call.

So, without further ado, may I present the TWO winners of our first photo contest:

Joan Fernbach’s hand-dyed, hand-spun Jojoland Autumn Shawl

and

Amanda Boch’s #20 Cable/Rib Cardigan by Gayle Bunn

Nice work, Joan and Amanda! And all of the rest of you. This was so much fun but I learned one very valuable lesson: our next contest will be divided in to categories. So hats will be competing with other hats and sweaters with sweaters.

In addition to our fondest admiration, Joan and Amanda have each won a $50 credit to use in the JMF online shop.
