October Needle Arts Challenge

**madhen** · 09-21-2008, 12:08 AM

For those of you who joined the Needle Arts Club, I posted this in the thread titled "Announcing the Needle Arts Club," but it is a pretty old thread, so I'm posting it here, as well.

How about a challenge? Project Time!!!

You have until October 1 to decide what your project is, and you have until the end of October to finish it. (So don't decide that you are going to knit an afghan using #2 needles....Unless you are REALLY good and REALLY fast and have no life, then go for it.)

Who is in? If you want in, let us know. By Oct 1, post your intended project, and then we can keep each other updated on our progress throughout the month. At the end of month, pics will be posted to show finished projects.

Newscast is already in with a challenging project of preemie blankets for her local children's hospital! I'm still trying to figure out what my project will be.

I'm in with 3 hats for my nephews for Christmas.

**Michelle** · 09-21-2008, 09:00 PM

I will try

I'm a newbie, so I'll probably end up doing a dishcloth or scarf

**perSue** · 09-21-2008, 09:01 PM

YES!

I have a few cross stitch patterns to make... it's something I havent done in a while, so it's time consuming and a little challenging.

I want them done for the Yule holidays.

**Lady_V** · 09-21-2008, 09:14 PM

I'm in!

Not sure what I will make for the project... I have a few days, I will let you know.

I'm in, I just need to figure out what to make.

**knitnmom** · 09-22-2008, 09:24 AM

I'm in too! I'll have to think about my project though.

**HisDaisy** · 09-22-2008, 10:45 AM

I am in.
Is it OK if the project is already started?
If it is, I have a baby afghan that I need to finish. The baby should come any day now.

I am moving in Oct, but should have enough down time to finish it.

I'm in too. Will post my project soon. I will not be able to post a picture so you'll just have to take my word for it that I've (hopefully) completed my project.

Great idea - thanks for the motivation!

**Jeanna** · 09-22-2008, 11:33 AM

I am in also. I have many projects waiting so I will have to decide which one to tackle. Will post which one soon.

**cab54** · 09-22-2008, 11:46 AM

I'd like to try it!

First I'd like to finish a chenille throw I'm knitting (3/4 done), then a child's blanket for donation I started (1/3 done).

Then I'd like to start and get at least halfway through the shawl I'm going to make my Mom for Christmas. It's a tough pattern, so I'm going to say 'half'.

**cheapskate 49** · 09-22-2008, 01:44 PM

I'm in also.I will finish the dolls clothes I started,make slippers for my sister,2 furry scarfs and a pair of socks(not so sure about that as it will be my first pair in years).I will TRY and finish the vest I started for me

**McD** · 09-22-2008, 02:35 PM

I'm in. Cross-Stitch a baby quilt right now and while I know I can't get it completed by October, I am commited to getting it 1/2 way done by October 31.

Okay, for those of you who signed up but didn't give us a project, the clock is ticking! Think about it this weekend, and let us know what you decided on! (And yes, I'm guilty of the same thing!)
