A fun and exciting crochet competition for designers based on a single crochet stitch and theme.
Stacey is an Army wife and stay-at-home mom. She has been crocheting and knitting for about three years. In addition, she spins and dyes yarn. Her goal, when designing, is to avoid having to sew things together. Stacey enjoys crafting and spending time with her busy family. We are quite anxious to see what she delivers for us this round!
Amber has always loved to crochet. Her children are her inspiration. About a year ago, she began designing her own patterns. She loves designing original things that are fun to make. Amber's biggest goal is to publish her own books and see them being sold in stores. With each new pattern, she gets closer to that goal. We are excited to see what fun and original design she comes up with for Round 3!
Sonya began crocheting about 15 years ago. She opened her crochet business in 2012 (then Beautiful Ducklings). In January of this year, Sonya discovered that her true crochet passion was in designing. She changed her business name and focus and began publishing her designs. She's very excited for what the rest of the year brings! What do you think her bright idea for Round 3 might be???
Becky of Grammy's Creations is making her Battle of the Stitches debut this round! 
Rebecca picked up her first hook in 2008 when she taught herself to crochet from a book in order to make a baby gift for a co-worker. She released her first pattern in 2011, and has blown us away with her character hats and baby booties. Rebecca currently works full time, but her dream is to open her own craft store one day.
Amy is an Army wife and stay-at-home-mom to two little ones. She was taught the basics of crochet by her mother-in-law when she was pregnant with her three-year-old daughter and instantly fell in love. Since, she has expanded her skills with the help of YouTube videos and pattern books. While she does dabble in knitting here and there, her true passion is crochet. She began designing patterns two years ago when she could not find a skirt pattern that was exactly what she was looking for, and she has been "hooked" since. Like all great designers, Amy strives to improve her technique with each design she creates.
Though Amanda just started crochet pattern designing earlier this year, she has been crocheting more than half of her life. Crochet is her passion! Since the release of her first pattern, she has published at least one pattern a week as well as a couple of eBooks. Amanda's main design focus has been children's items, though she has started to include adult items as well. Her favorite stitches are front and back post stitches. In addition to crocheting, Amanda enjoys photography, reading, writing, and spending time with her family.
