1st Fiber Challenge Below are the creations of those customers who participated in the 1st Biennial Fiber Challenge which concluded March 15, 2005. Each participating customer was given 7 sks of yarn (they were allowed to pick colors, except for an orange wool yarn I insisted on and the "zinger" yarn which they grabbed blindly out of a big black bag). They also received 1 oz of dyed wool locks and .5 oz of silk hankies. Everyone had 3 months to create whatever they wanted and the only rules were that they could eliminate 1 item I gave them (but it couldn't be the "zinger" yarn - this was a challenge after all!) and they could add 1 item of their own. Whether they knitted, crocheted, wove, felted, rug hooked, locker hooked, etc. was up to them. Here are the wonderful creations they came up with, along with with the participants name and an overview of their inspiration, techniques, or other point of interest. All the photos can be clicked on to get a closer look. The picture below shows an example of just a few of the odd assortment of yarns they had to work with!
