• How This Works

      Short Version

        1) Every Sunday a new crochet Prompt or Challenge will be posted. In addition, a Mission will be posted on the first day of each month, and possibly within any given month.
        2) Copy the Prompt/Challenge/Mission to your own blog with your response then come back here and leave your link in the comments of the appropriate topic so everyone will know where to find it.
        3) If you don't have a blog, why not start one? Or you can just post your response here.
        4) You don't have to participate in every post. Do the ones you want. Backtrack if you wish. 5) If you have any comments about this site and/or suggestions for a prompt/challenge, click on the "Share Your Ideas" tab and use the form to send it.

        For the long-winded version, click the About button.

Prompt: 10 Things Learned

Crochet hooks. We all love them. From the tiniest one to the largest one in our collection, each has its own purpose. I’m sure if any of us really sat down and thought about it, we could come up with ten things we’ve learned from a crochet hook, which is what this prompt is all [...]

Prompt: Ad Your Crochet

You are given free ad space in a colorful crafty magazine to “sell” your craft. Not to sell products you crochet; rather, to sell others on why they should pick up a yarn and hook and learn to crochet. The space you are given is half a page or less, and you are asked to use [...]

Mission: First Day of Fall

Can you feel it? Smell it? See it? If not, it’s right around the corner. Yes, it’s Autumn, and if it’s not showing in an outdoor theatre near you just yet, it will be soon. The crisp air, the changing colors, football, and baking (at least for me).
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is [...]

Limerick Your Crochet

Even if you don’t consider yourself a poet, this should be fun and easy. Your mission is to write a limerick–or several–about crochet. No starting with “There once was a man from Nantucket…” though!
What is a limerick? A limerick is a short poem, oftentimes humorous (although it doesn’t have to be), which consist of five lines. [...]

“How do you intend to do this?” you may ask, which is a valid question. I really don’t plan to do it alone. Instead, I’ll [...]
