Hi everyone!

For this challenge, here's what I'd like you to do:

1. Pick an existing normal pattern (16 strings or fewer is recommended just because I'm asking for a quick turnaround)
2. Add a variation of the pattern in a color palette that's significantly different from the original and any existing variations. Try to introduce a fresh, creative take on it!
3. Make the bracelet and get your photo up by the deadline (Feb 18th)
4. Let me know here so I can see what you've come up with!
5. That's it! Check back for winners and/or to see others' creations!

RULES
-Normal patterns only. I'm sorry, but I'm still pretty bad at alphas myself and it doesn't feel fair for me to judge!
-You can make whatever you want (keychain, bracelet, etc., but a wall hanging might be too big to finish in time)
-Please ask to join so I know who's participating, but you DO NOT have to ask if you can join with the pattern of your choosing. If it's a normal pattern and you've come up with a variation for it, go right ahead.
-The variation you make DOES have to be your own, though!
-Adding the challenge name to your photo is helpful, but not strictly necessary
-DEADLINE: February 18th

JUDGING CRITERIA
-Basic neatness, photo quality
-Most importantly: the creativity of your variation! I want to see a totally different take on a pattern that looks great and adds value to the site because it introduces a different way of seeing the pattern.

PRIZES
-For the top three participants, I'll make one of your patterns (in a variation, if I can think of a good one!)
-If you win but don't make patterns or would prefer a different prize, let me know and maybe we can figure something else out.

I think that's everything.... Let me know if you have any questions!

@mags11 Oh, sure! I probably should have set the deadline further out to begin with. Is the end of the month (Feb 29th) enough time?

@mags11 Cool variation! That would definitely work for this challenge if you made it and posted a photo. 😊 👍

Sorry I've been slow to respond, btw. I expected to be around more when I posted it. But you can go ahead with that if that's what you'd like to do! I hope other people enter, too, but maybe you'll just be the guaranteed winner. Lol.

Sorry again for being slow, y'all. Been a little overwhelmed lately.

But nice work, @trini2211 and @mags11! Lookin pretty sensational. 😎

Thanks for joining, @soapbox and @unique_ly! Love both your variations--go ahead and make those, if you were waiting for my nod of approval. Excited to see your photos go up! 😊
