I designed this shawl for my daughter as she loves to look at herself in the mirror while wearing pretty things (she's only 3!). Pattern available here and on Ravelry. I wanted something very practical, as kids have a tendency to run, roll and get messy in no time. That's what the ring in the back is for. One tail goes into the other so it won't open and it stays thigh enough around little necks. Cotton is perfect for children as it's not too hot, it's light to wear and it can easily be washed. MillaMia cotton was the perfect match. I love the richness of the colours, and the texture when knitted. I don't usually knit fair isle with cotton as I'm aware of tension issues but MillaMia surprised me as it went really smooth and enjoyable, even in a flat piece! I tried to design a modern and practical accessory with a fresh look. The style is very simple and the fair isle is almost a hint, a funny way to blend the 2 colours together. The tassels add a playful accent, essential for kids!

Thanks, she really likes it, she's using it everyday!
As for the competition, no, I haven't heard anything about it, neither in the blog, nor in the newsletter. Maybe they're still thinking about it. I saw you're in the competition as well. Your poncho is lovely, i like it very much!
Good luck!!! :)
