Twins Face Off – March 2015 Design Challenge Sponsored by Red Heart

Twins Back to Back

Twins: Dana and Deborah

We have a confession to make. We’re a bit competitive. We enjoy how competition stretches our imagination and challenges us to think creatively and strategically. We aren’t sore losers. We are genuinely happy when other people’s skills best our own. But we’re out to win, none the less.

With that said, we are thrilled to bring you our first Twins Face Off design challenge. We will each be given the same yarn and work independently to create a fun design that you will get a chance to vote on. And there will be prizes!

This first challenge is sponsored by Red Heart Yarn.

Red Heart Yarn Prize Package

Red Heart Yarn: Yarn for Challenge and Upcoming Prize Pack

 

We each have received 8 skeins of yarn: 2 skeins each of Red heart Soft in Black and White and 2 skeins each of Red Heart Boutique Sashay Sequins in Caviar and Champagne.

We’ll be getting together over the next week to decide what type of item we’ll crochet for our face off. Could be a toy, a garment or home decor item. We’ll let you know Tuesday next week.

There will be a couple of prizes in this competition, too! Those who vote on our designs will be entered in a drawing to win the yarn pictured above and the patterns we create in this competition. First place wins the yarn and patterns. Second place wins the patterns.

We want to send out a big thank you to Red Heart for sponsoring our first challenge. They have lots of patterns on their website: Soft Yarn Patterns; Sashay Patterns.
