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.
