My "Chaos Critter" Challenge
Lately, Chaos projects have been in the crochet news... such as the Chaos Blanket, where you use spinning wheels to determine the color and pattern for the next stripe in a blanket. I have also seen the same decision process applied to a sweater and to amigurumi.

And here he is:
