It's time for our first #CraftBlogClub challenge of 2015!
The challenge is.... "A New Craft for the New year"
This can be interpreted in two ways....
1. This challenge is perfect if 2015 is the year you want to learn a new craft. Whatever craft you want to learn this challenge is perfect to get you started.
2. Or if like me, you don't have the time, space or funds for a new craft in your life, why not take an already loved craft to the next level. This is an opportunity to learn new techniques for example:
Crochet - Why not try a new stitch such as Broomstick Crochet or have a go at Amigurumi?
Sewing - Maybe you make clothes but fancy trying quilting or you could use a fabric you've never used before.
Papercraft - Maybe you have always made cards but fancy trying scrapbooking.
Jewellery making - Have you always been a beader but want to try wire work?
Alternatively, you may have received a new craft tool/machine for Christmas that you still need to take out the box, it's time to get it out and give it a go!
The Reveal....
We will be revealing our makes in our Twitter chat on 17th March and If you have a blog also present your lovely project in a blog post by this date.
As it is a new craft/technique and the thought of having to complete a project may be terrifying. Don't worry, the whole point of the challenge is to have fun learning a new craft/technique and if you don't have a completed project we still want to see your work in progress.
There will be a linky set up on THIS BLOG to showcase your blog posts and do take some time to have a look at the other posts, it’s lovely to see some of the amazing creativity we have in our #CraftBlogClub!

Aha! I know exactly what I'm going to do: "magic ball" colour changes on a Persian Poppy knitted item. Probably a scarf. Thank you for organising!
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased you are taking part. I can't wait to see the final knitted project :-)
DeleteI've never actually done Fair Isle knitting before - now is my chance!
ReplyDeleteNot being a knitter I had to google what this was! I'm going to learn so much from everyone taking part in this challenge and I can't wait to see all the different techniques. Thank you for taking part, I'm looking forward to see what you knit. I'm still deciding what to do, the problem is there's so much I want to do!
DeleteI've ended up doing two different responses!
DeleteBrilliant! I'll check them out on your blog. I'll have my challenge up on the blog by the morning so you can link your post :-)
DeleteSo many choices. I have just started to explore polymer clay buttons. I'm almost finished my very first pair of socks on the sock loom. And Mam bought me a crochet giraffe kit for Christmas. I've only ever done one granny square and, when I was a child, a beret for action man. It was supposed to be a flat coaster! So I guess the giraffe wins.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, so many crafts, so little time! I am pleased you are taking part and I can't wait to see what you make :-)
DeleteWhat a great challenge! Can't wait to see what everyone makes. I'm going to struggle to xhoose what to work on - there are so many new skills I'd like to learn... x
