The Battle is ON
The Designers are set
The Designers are set
Their Hooks came out swinging
Their yarn they did get
The focus - One Stitch
The Theme - Mother's Day
Hold on to your seats!
There's more on the way...
The Guidelines:
1. Each designer must design something new using the "Rocky Road" crochet stitch
as the focus of their design. They may use other stitches to make it interesting,
but the Rocky Road must remain dominant.
2. Designers may use their choice of yarn in order to show the stitch differently
3. Designs must remain secret until the Judging is final.
4. Designers provide a photo of their design without any logos or "tales" of who the
designer is
5. Designs must be finalized by March 25th. Photos are then turned over for judging.
6. Designs are to follow the "Mother's Day" Theme
7. Judges will rank designs based on the following:
A. Overall design
B. Use of stitch
C. Use of color to show stitch
D. Most creative
8. Judging results will be given by March 29th.
9. All designs will be published in a special edition of Too Yarn Cute Magazine which
will be available the first week of April.
10. The winner of the Battle of the Stitches will receive:
$50 gift card to Joann's (provided by Crafting Friends Designs)
Set of Clover hooks (provided by Snappy Tots)
6mo subscription to Too Yarn Cute Magazine (provided by Too Yarn Cute eMag)

ReplyDeleteWow what an amazing challenge, you are all gifted designers. Good luck to you all but I am secretly cheering for Heidi from snappy tots.
ReplyDeleteI am cheering for all of you <3
ReplyDeleteit's too hard to say who I'm pulling for.... so great designers....
ReplyDeleteeek, I don't know who to cheer for, as so many of you I now consider to be friends!!! So I'll just cheer for all my girls!!!
ReplyDeleteI am cheering for all of them. If forced to choose one I'm gonna say JoAnn from GrammyJo Lids at least in this moment. In 10 minutes I'm sure to change my mind because they are all winners
ReplyDeleteGood luck to all the competitors-I am very excited to see what you all come up with! Its hard to pick just one to cheer for-I am rooting for you all but I would probably say KT and the squid--I just love all her fun and dainty patterns!
ReplyDeleteI don't know who to root for since they have different styles and I love all of their patterns. So, I asked my kids. My son is rooting for Jen from Hatch-ed with Love because he loves his Bubble Puppy hat and my daughter is rooting for Ann from Glamour4You because she loves pink.
ReplyDeleteI am very excited to see what Ann from Glamour4You will come up with. I love her style!
ReplyDeleteThis is quite exciting and I got to learn a new stitch I'd never heard of before. Good luck to all of the designers!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! I am familiar with a lot of these designers!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to all of the designers!! I couldn't pick one specific designer to root for, I love them all.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what they make in this challenge, so many great designers it's fab
ReplyDeleteI would like to see Jennifer from Hatch-ed With Love win. I love all the work from everyone here though, so it was a hard call.

ReplyDeleteI canNot wait to see what everyone comes up with!! It's just too hard to root for Just one designer!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see all of the designs! Glamour 4 You has been coming out with some fun ones of late, though, so since I have to choose . . . :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Katy for showing me more crochet blogs to follow. My husband just rolls his eyes now.

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to all the designs. I am cheering for Hatched With Love. Her designs are so original.
ReplyDeleteI love them all- but I think its Tera's ime for a win ;-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck, designers!
ReplyDeleteI am voting for Tera from Triffles n Treasures
ReplyDeleteThere are just so many talented designers, I can't choose between them! I am familiar with a couple of them and can't wait to see what they come up with using this stitch that I have never really used or seen before
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who I will be rooting for. There are too many amazing designers here. Such a fun idea. Good luck to all.
ReplyDeleteYou all are great designers! Good luck and have fun!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see all the designs. cheering you all on but especially excited to see what Kimberlie has in store for us
ReplyDeleteGood luck to everyone, too hard to chose just one to cheer for!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Good luck, everyone!!
ReplyDeleteI am a graphic designer with a hobby of crocheting on the side so I have an eye for design. I am rooting for "The Country Hooker Designs" because her combination of colors are beautiful and well-executed. Secondly, I am also rooting for Glamour 4 u because I really like her shawl pattern, something I could make for my mom! I think if she used some other colors that are well contrasted or looks good together, I would have liked it the best. Good luck to all the challengers!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like fun. I'm sure there will be some awesome entries!
ReplyDeleteThis is Karen Buxton Current, but I had to post as Anonymous because I don't have any of the profiles listed. I don't know what to put on URL or I may have been able to do that one.
DeleteAfter visiting all of the challengers pages, I still cannot decide! They all do such amazing work and their products are beautiful! Good luck to all of them!
ReplyDeleteGood luck ladies! Such talented designers! Hard to pick just one, so I'll cheer them all on! =D
ReplyDeleteAs I was looking through deciding who to root for, I kept changing my mind. There are so many designers in here that I admire!
ReplyDeleteI am rooting for Hatched with love.
