CHALLENGE: Details

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Copied from the Crafty Detour site:


The Details:

  • Challenge will run from September 1st to November 1st.
  • Post your finished entry in the Crafty Detour Ravelry Group or on the Challenge page. Be sure to mark it as an entry by using the following form:
    • Name:
    • New Technique Learned:
    • Outcome: (put text here: why did you want to learn this? did you have fun? post a picture)
  • Prizes will be randomly drawn after the deadline.
  • The more participants, the more prizes that will be available.
  • Possible prize contents: yarn, notions, books, fiber, etc.
  • The point of this is to challenge YOURSELF to learn something new and to HAVE FUN!

Again, feel free to post your progress/discussions/pleas for help/help for others in either of the two locations linked above. In Ravelry I will make a separate discussion thread and final entry thread.

CHALLENGE!

For many today is the day – Back to School!

Learning is fun, and so Ida and I have launched a new “project” over on Crafty Detour! It’s called Back to School CHALLENGE. Basically we are challenging YOU to challenge yourself. Learn a new knitting/crochet technique. Something you might have been afraid to try, or just haven’t gotten around to yet. Post your progress on the Crafty Detour page, or in the Ravelry group. Get support from your fellow learners and be entered to win some fabulous prizes!

More details to come soon – How long does this last? What are the prizes? etc.

Criminal Sock Investigations

Monday, June 7th, 2010

It’s official! Crafty Detour has announced CSI: Criminal Sock Investigations!

This is a not-a-club club which will span 10 months with one pattern a month. Patterns are available all at once (for a discounted price) as an e-book (patterns are added to the book monthly) or for those that don’t like surprises, individually.

Patterns will be hosted via Ravelry, but you don’t need a Ravelry account to participate! However, if you do have a Ravelry account, we have started a Crafty Detour group which will house discussions, project sharing, and all that fun stuff.
