• 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.

Mission: First Day of Fall

Posted on September 23, 2007 by Tracie

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 to create a new crochet pattern that celebrates the grandeur of the season. It can be something simple like a leaf pattern done in Autumnish colors or something more complicated like a sweater. The choice is yours depending on your own time and pattern-writing skill. The only rule of thumb is to create it before the season is over.

So get those hooks and yarn to moving and let’s see what beautiful things we can come up with!

Happy Autumn!

(If you’re participating in another country and the season is different, the prompt is the same, except to create something for the season you’re in.)

    Ooh! Ooh! Does the scarf I’m making count since it’s in an autumnal color with a slightly autumnal pattern?? Granted, I can only take partial credit for design, but still…..

    Sure…as long as you can take at least partial credit. :)

    This may be the prompt I need (pun intended) to totally rip the single sock from the CAL and start fresh with a new design.

    Is there a deadline? Well, like before the start of winter?

  • What’s the Difference?

    A Prompt is mainly a Crochet topic to write about.

    A Challenge is more involved, oftentimes combining crocheting with writing something to go with it. Or it may be a short crochet project.

    A Mission is all about creating your own pattern and usually has a longer time span to complete than the first two. Missions will be posted on the first of the month, and sometimes, one or two may just be thrown in randomly depending on what's going on in the world. Every now & then, it may also involve writing, but it's really intended more for the crochet.
