Suggestion for challenges every month

casi_ann

Every month I join or set a sewing, knitting, embroidery and crocheting challenge for myself. This tends to keep me busy, keep me on target with my projects and most important helps keep me away from food after work. For January , my challenges included knitting a pair of socks, crocheting a pot holder, making a pair of curtains (this would be my first) and digitizing and sewing out my logo at work for the embroidery. I already accomplished all these things. I knitted a pair of red socks, we had a specific pattern we had to follow and they were more like slippers because we had to use thicker yarn, I made 2 potholders, i made curtains for 4 windows and finished stitching out a good logo. It took several logos before we got it right. At this time i'm working on finishing a jacket i started, i just have to add the zipper. What do all of you think about having challenges for ourselves to sew, knit, crochet, embroider, or whatever it is you enjoy doing. I already do it in other communities so will post what my challenges are for the month in February. You can choose to join or give your own challenge. If someone wants to join a challenge they can. If you do it solo no big deal, you aren't really solo if you are here with us.
