Battle of the Stitches - Challengers 9 & 10

Folks, we are almost there! Today Battle of the Stitches challengers 9 & 10 have been announced! 

I'm so excited to have all the challengers revealed so the competition can get underway!

In the spotlight first today is Michelle from Two Brothers Blankets.

A mom of two boys (y'all know I love me some boys!), Michelle is a self-taught crochet artisan. She has been crocheting for four years and sold her very first pattern this year!

I love the classic simplicity of her Simply Textured Cowl and Bootcuffs! Crochet elegance at it's finest! This would be a great "go-to" gift pattern this holiday season!

 

 

 

 

Introducing challenger #10 ...Christine from ChrisCrossCrafts!

 

 

 

Christine has been crocheting for over 40 years and has been writing patterns for over a decade!

Can you imagine the wealth of crochet knowledge she brings to the competition!

 

 

 

Christine  has eight children and four grandchildren (with one more on the way!)

As you might imagine, she is most inspired by her family. 

This Fall Romance Shawl is one of my favorites!

 

 

 

Be sure you stop by Two Brothers Blankets and ChrisCrossCrafts on Facebook to keep up with Michelle and Christine during the competition...and while you are there, leave them a bit of encouragement for the upcoming competition!

 

Only two more challengers left to be revealed! The anticipation is killing me!

 

Until then, love and best stitches!

 

XOXOXOXOXO,

 

Melanie
