MDK March Mayhem, Round 2: Vote
The results of Round 1 voting are in.
We do not like this part of MDK March Mayhem—the farewelling part. To all the patterns that do not move on, please take solace that many thousands of knitters admire you and voted for you. Every single pattern received a ton of love. This is not The Bachelor; this is an event where everybody knits on in Ravelry.
Thank you for being beautiful, clever, and distinctive.
Round 2 voting has now closed. Thanks to everyone who voted! Please come back for Round 3 voting, which begins March 24, 2017.

I think something might not be working correctly, I’ve voted for 4 per category and I’m getting a message for each of them – !This Question Requires an Answer.
This is fun but tough!!!
I voted for four items in each group and when I clicked on done it came back saying each group needed an answer.
The form is not accepting any answers.
Same issue here – I’ll try again later. Loving this take on March Madness.
Sorry, there is problem with the form. I click 4 answers in each category but the system tells me that there are answers missing. And one suggestion: Why not reduce the bracket to the patterns that are still in the competition.
And: why are some of my favourites already out.
Hey all! Sorry for the glitch! It’s fixed now. Go ye forth and vote!
Thank you, this is so much fun! Most of my first picks made it, I’m waiting anxiously for the third round!
Looks like problems have been fixed? No problems with my voting. Also, I may have spent way too much time agonizing over my selections! Thanks for the fun!

STONEHAVEEEEEENNNN!!!!!!
It’s so hard!
Yjamks for all the time you and Ann have put into it, it’s fun! Although personally I wish something from Interpretations vol 3 had made it in. Like maybe my long top o the to knit list Breathless. No affiliation. Just an admirer. Of course, are far too many great things to knit to ev r fit in the brackets. So why am on on incarnation #3 of the same stripped odd shaped shawl?
I strongly believe that there is a place for repetition in one’s knitting life!
Voting worked for me! Also, yesterday’s video about Harris Tweed soothed my Villanova-torn heart. Excited to have this Madness too.
Done it!
Yay! No issues with voting at all. Nice to see some of my top seeds have a chance to make it through to Sweet Sixteen. And more impetus to finish my current WIP so I can Cast. On. All. The. Things!!!!!!
Still having so much fun with this! I was 6/8 in three categories and 4/8 in the other. (Some of us just have to find a way of keeping score.) But I’m sorry that the Art Walk Cardigan didn’t make it into the Thrilling Thirty-Two. (Think I’ll keep knitting it, though.)
Me too, Art Walk. I especially love mariehorner’s project on Ravelry. Think i need to queue that one!
Thank you for this, it is so much work for you but so much fun!
You’re so right about the knitting/basketball nexus. I’m genuinely sorry for VU’s unexpected early knockout… and guiltily since Elio is now not so March mad. Thanks for the fun picks to explore!
CRISTINAAAAAAAA how the heck are you? xoxoxoxo Thanks to you I always think “Vanillanova.”
Voting issues here… ;-(
Oh no Sara, let me know what your issue is. Feel free to email me at kay.gardiner at gmail dot com.
Great event. This is so much fun. Heading out tomorrow on a road trip to the Southwest, bought pattern and yarn for Fragmentation for the drive.
Everything went fine and submitted! I was soooo disappointed a couple of my fave shawls didn’t get through though. So sad to have just missed the voting window for round one.
This voting is highly addictive! Loving it!
Love seeing the photos, propositions and results. the cream rises to the top! such talent. xo
Can’t find “Nemeton” to vote for under shawls!!!
It looks like it didn’t make it to Round 2.
How do I vote? I scrolled through the box and I don’t see how I vote?
Same! I don’t see a link to the voting form like I did with Round 1.
I tried to vote yesterday evening but it wouldn’t go through. Better luck next time, I guess.
The voting button has been taken down. It’s no where near 3pm EDT yet. 🙁
I didn’t remember until this morning, but the cutoff was 3 a.m.
I tried to vote last night but the button didn’t work.
Thanks. I saw the cutoff time, but I guess my mind saw it as 3 PM 🙂
Oops, me too – thought it was 3 pm. Oh well….. 🙂
I cannot figure how to vote !!!!!!
Sorry Crete didn’t make it out of the first round. Nell Zirolli is a fantastic designer!
I’m having trouble too–it says “scroll through the box” to make selections, but…there is no box, like there was for round 1.
Sorry – couldn’t vote in round 2. Went to pick 4 in each category and tried to submit, but got the error message. Then I had to get to work. Oh well…
