Challenger # 9 from the Battle of the Stitches Round 1... Can you believe we're almost through the reveals?
This
Challenger is another super lady who I have seen in various crochet
groups on FaceBook but didn't really know until now. Hope is the talent
behind the business Awe Stitch and I would love if you could go tell her what you think of her design using the Rocky Road crochet stitch.
I think you will agree - this is a beautiful design. They all are
and I'm so glad that I was not a judge in this Battle of the Stitches!
This is definitely on my list to make (ok, so I think I am adding 10 new designs to my list of projects)
and I know right where it is going. My Great Grandma had a beautiful
Serving table that is now my parent's. This is the ONE thing that I
Really want passed down to me.
Challenger
#5 is Rachel from The Country Hooker Designs. Rachel is just starting
out in designing and I was happy to have her join the fun.
She chose to use Cotton Yarn
for her project and I think it looks amazing.
Our 4th Challenger in the Battle of the Stitches chose to use Red Heart's Unforgettable yarn. Oh how pretty this is! Another yarn to add to my ever growing list :)
Schere is the face behind Schere's Crafty Crochet
and her design is so pretty. I can see this easily being made in a
small size for a doll and a child size so that some cute little girls
can have "Mommy and Me" shawls. Wouldn't it be fun to make some for moms
and daughters for photos?
I'm ready to reveal the next design - Are you ready to see it?
Challenger #3 in the Battle of the Stitches was Ann from Glamour4You.
Ann is a designer that I have watched for a while and she amazes me. Very unique and creative.
She chose to use Deborah Norville Yarn for her design and it's beautiful! It's a brand that I have not tried yet and it's now on my list.
It's getting close to the reveals of our Battle of the Stitches designs! Woo Hoo!!!
What
a VERY exciting time this has been. The Designers have all been
amazing and their creativity and talent. It has been a wonderful and
positive experience. While I would have loved to be one of the
Challengers, I didn't think it would be fair since I set everything up.
I also didn't think it would be fair of me to expect them to design
something with a stitch that I haven't tried myself. So, my solution
for this was to work up a project myself and just not have it judged.
The theme for the Battle is Mother's Day. The designers were asked to
design something using the Rocky Road crochet stitch that they would
give as a Mother's Day gift OR something that they themselves would like
to receive for Mother's Day. As many of you know, I love to make old
fashioned candy. I enjoy cooking (when I don't have to worry about
picky eaters) and learned to cook from my mom. She is a fantastic cook!
