    need suggestions

    Its been awhile since I've been on here, or even had much time to crochet. simply put, life got in the way. But now I'm back and could use some help. This year I finally got the up the courage to enter some items in our county fair, I did ok and would like to do it again next year. I am looking for a pattern(s) that really have a "WOW" factor. I consider myself an intermediate to experienced crocheter and enjoy a challenge. Does anyone have any patterns they can share?

    Something seasonal for the time of the year the fair is . Narrow it down by the type of project , and size of project you like to do, for example, spring shawl . Then go to a site like Ravelry, or Pinterest and search.

    there are 25 different classes in the crochet category. I entered 15 of them. And I had one entry in their theme class, Fun With Feathers and Flowers. I'm looking for just about anything as long as its different. I've got ideas for some, but still trying to find - baby outfit, toy, doily, toddler outfit, pillow, . With the afghan categories there are classes for granny square, ripple, afghan stitch, and afghan other than listed. There's also a category for baby afghan. I try to make things that I can use for gifts or donations after the fair.

    Ok, someone please help. I need a pattern for a Bible Study group Christmas party gift exchange in December. I think I want to do a filet crochet afghan and would like some type of religious theme but not necessarily Christmas. As far as entries for the fair, I am still looking for a shawl pattern, baby outfit (I think I want something for a boy as all outfits this year were for girls), and a fisherman stitch afghan. If anyone has patterns they are willing to share, I would really appreciate it. Oh, I need ideas for a category labeled "other" which could be anything, suggestions?
