So what earns a Pickle Badge? Well, there are not really any rules. I just pick projects that stand out for some reason--stunning crafting, gorgeous colors, unique techniques, unbearable cuteness... you name it. If I like it, it gets a Golden Pickle Award! And this term we have a brand new badge for the Golden Pickle Award!

There is one other type of Pickle Badge to award this week. In Ravenclaw, we are well known for threatening people with the Mallet of Sanity when they decide to attempt unbelievable feats with their crafting. The Pickle of Sanity Badge is awarded to those 'Claws who not only attempt the incredible but also succeed in outrunning the Mallet of Sanity! All of the 'Claws earning this badge this week have managed these feats in only about two weeks!
kvaustin did it again and knit an entire sweater, using an amazing 1100 yards of yarn, for Charms!
