If you follow me on my YouTube Channel you would know that I took over the Mystery Yarn Challenge from Lori, the Armchair Chef. With shipping prices going higher and higher, some people can't afford to send a package of yarn, so I want to have an Option 2 for people to participate.
For the month of October, we are playing Bingo! Here is the Bingo board:
How is it going to work? When you finish a project that matches one of the squares on the board, you cross it off (or fill it in with pretty colors). If you get five in a row, you are entered in the end-of-month drawing for a prize.
Here is an explanation of the squares:
Some have a color (orange, purple, green, ombre, Retro Stripe (a Red Heart Super Saver yarn) and Candy Corn Colors (bright yellow, bright orange, white). For this square, you just need to finish a project using that color. No double-dipping, though! If you make a project that uses orange and green, you can only fill in one block!)
There are three designers in the grid... Yes, I am one of the three.
You can see all my patterns on Ravelry
The third is Stringy Ding Ding, who has a bunch of adorable free patterns on her and she is also on Ravelry
Some of the blocks list a specific animal or group of animals: penguin (of course... since I love penguins), Pet (dog, cat, fish, ferret, hamster, gerbil, etc.), Creepy Crawlie (bug, snake, lizard, dinosaur, turtle), Forest (deer, squirrel, fox, bear, etc.), Farm (chicken, horse, donkey, pig, etc.)
Other blocks:
Fantasy: dragon, unicorn, mermaid, monster, etc.
New to you pattern: find a pattern you have never made before
2 oz scrap: find a 2-ounce (or more) scrap yarn and finish it off
From a Book: pull a book from your crafting library and make something from it
New To You yarn: make something from a yarn you have never used before
3-weight or lighter: make something with thin yarn (yes, you can hold two strands together)
5-weight or higher: pull out that bulky or super-bulky yarn!
Halloween: anything with a Halloween theme
Fuzzy Yarn: fun fur, yarn with a halo, eyelash yarn, etc.
Motif: make something with a motif, like a granny square or hexagon
I know that some people make wearables, not Amigurumi, but you can apply the categories to wearables, too... you could make an animal hat, or add an animal applique to a blanket. I hope this challenge inspires you to try something new!
No double-dipping, please. One project cannot fill in multiple squares. For instance, if you made a green and purple snake with bulky yarn, you would have to choose one square to fill in... you can't do green, purple, 5-weight or higher, Creepy Crawlie and Halloween. Sorry!
Pics of the 5 items to complete your Bingo row need to be in by October 31. You can do more than one Bingo. I will enter your name in the prize drawing for each Bingo row you complete.
Once I have my YouTube video done about the challenge, I will link it here.
If I get questions in the comments on my YouTube video, I will try to remember to post the answers here, too.
