You really need to check this out! It's a wonderful idea!
Here are the rules:

1. The project must be a challenge for you to complete in the specified time frame.
2. You can NOT start until opening ceremonies (Feb 10, 2pm Eastern Time)
3. You MUST finish by closing ceremonies (16 days later, Feb 26th)
4. You can do prep work before (guage swatches, winding, etc), but no working on the actual project.
5. Pick something that is doable, but challenging. Do not set yourself up for failure.

Yarn Comparisons (IMHO)

Red Heart Regular = good basic worsted weight yarn; a little stiff, but great for crafts and most crochet; super color range.
Bernat Super Value = much softer than Red Heart but still a great value for the cost conscience crocheter. Good color range. Good price.
Red Heart Soft = lovely soft & silky feel, slightly lighter worsted weight, great stitch definition, fair color range.
Bernat Satin = super softness and silkiness, slightly lighter worsted weight, great stitch definition, fair color range.
Caron Simply Soft = soft & silky feel, slightly lighter worsted weight, great stitch definition, good color range. Good price.
