This challenge features some of my most
favorite designers, and I’m sure they’ll become
some of your favorites, too! I’ll be giving each a
hearty introduction on our blog from 3-12
February (lineup and schedule on pages 4-7)!
We asked you to vote for our DW6 yarn pick,
and Red Heart With Love was the top choice! This
is such a popular yarn that I’ll be featuring it in our
February CAL; check for details, and how to
participate, on page 10!
Author, designer and Craftsy instructor Linda
Permann will be featured on our blog on 17
February! Hint, there will be a giveaway too!
Finally, we’ve hooked up with some fantastic
artisan shops to provide our challenges with prizes!
See what we’ve gathered so far on page 8!

I’ve followed Linda Permann since her book
Little Crochet was first published, and I was
delighted to get a hold of her for a Design
Wars interview! Our chat will be released
on the DW blog on February 17, and I’ll be
giving away a signed copy of Little Crochet!
Can’t wait for the interview? You can find
Linda on any of these forums, enjoy!
