Hugo Eligibility Post 2025
After the defeat of my amendment to the WSFS constitution at the Business Meeting in Seattle in 2025, I began on path to qualify as a Fan Artist in my own name. Here are my fannish projects completed in 2025, all eligible for nomination in the 2026 Hugo Awards. Each project is captioned with its name and completion date, and the images link to my fan art Instagram account post for the project. Next year I will have other fannish knits, as well as some cross stitch pieces finished.

To the left is my Cowl of SMOFdom. My husband named it after we got suckered into our involvement with the Brisbane bid.
Above is the rainbow shawl I began after the 2024 election. I named it with inspiration from the quote from the Fellowship of the Ring, where Frodo wishes that the events he is living through need not have happened in his time.
Purple Dewdrops on Alien Ferns. Completed September 18, 2025.
Aurora in Midnight and Fog
To the left is a wall hanging I made out of leftover scrap yarn and beads. The beads reminded me of dewdrops hanging from ferns on an alien planet.
Above is a hat I transformed from a mystery cowl knit a long, because I didn’t think it should be a cowl. The colors remind me of the Northern Lights.
