The Holiday Challenge
Well, the October "scary project" Challenge didn't quite work out, but that's not gonna stop me from doing the next challenge!
This Challenge will be for 2 months. The focus will be on Holiday Projects. Same idea as before. Pick projects (you decide how many) that need to be done by the holidays. Post the overall goals, then mini goals as you go. Keep the tagboard updated with the mini goals and progress. Let me also add that they do not have to be knitting projects. Any hand made gift or project is acceptable. Hey, they don't even have to be gifts (mine won't be, as I limit how many hand made gifts I make... and I don't have any planned for this year).
Also, like last month, I'll be clearing the list and starting fresh. That way we have a current list of who's participating. So post on the tagboard that you are going to join us, what projects you need to finish (you can be vague, just in case you're worried that a recipient will stumble across the tagboard). Simple right! Let's crank out those gifts!!!
Oh, and I was completely wrong about my comfort level for WIPs/UFO's... as I started a new project yesterday. Marriane Isagers' Skygge Jakke (Shadow Jacket). However, I still should get an other afghan block done this weekend.

Hah! I KNEW you would start it *lol* awesome!!! and the new challenge sounds great too! because, at the last minute, I've decided to knit holiday presents ... wish me luck *lol*
Wow, that jacket is gorgeous. The only gift that I should do is a cabled sweater for my husband but I've said that for 3 years now :-)
I took a shadow knitting class with Maureen Mason-Jamieson and really want to make a sweater or jacket like that someday.
Carissa: it's going well, the only thing is I'm not big on intarsia, but this one's not bad. First triangle is done for the back!
Joan: heehee, ya, and maybe I'll finish Matt's Salt Lake City before the next Olympics! LOL!
Kristen: this one is actually not what I consider "shadow" knitting (like Vivian Hoxbro's technique). It's just 2 color striping, more of a modular technique with the color changes done in intarsia (ugh... but looks like it's worth it).
