I’m interested in trying out new weaving techniques, including using a pin loom.
I would like to make a hairpin lace shawl this year. Just learned the technique and I love it!
I would love to make more scarves this year. Maybe even a shawl I’ve never made one
I’m trying to push myself to make full and queen size blankets. Also, push myself to make a sweater. I just began crocheting, so I’d really like to advance my crocheting skills all around!
I need to work more on color work. I need to be more consistent in tension.
Sorry to hop on to another comment, but I couldn’t see another way to post an independent comment. I am a bit technically challenged. In the new year I winks love to try hand dyed yarn 🙂
Same here! Not sure how to leave an original comment. But I’d like to learn how to knit socks! I’ve always been intimidated by the process but I’d love to give it a try!
Ditto! Can’t figure out how to leave individual comment! I am determined to figure out how to crochet socks properly!
I’m tagging along in this comment thread 🙂
I would love to get into crocheting garments (with gorgeous yarns like this!) as I feel like I’m finally up to the challenge!
I’m planning on learning to use the beautiful spinning wheel a dear friend gave me.
I’m using my new rigid heddle loom
I’m hoping to make an adult size sweater for MYSELF!
I’m with Lynn. I tried to make a sweater only to find out I had to rip it apart and I have to start all over. I need clear explanations on how to get the right fit. Using a different yarn and needles. The one I tried is baggy and I’m still having a difficult time but don’t want to give up. I love knitting! 🧶
I am with you! For once I will make something in lace with beads for myself. And socks. Lots and lots of socks. I hate winter cold feet!
I have been doing some Entrelac scarves to learn this technique & recently found a jacket I want to make! So that is my new project for the new year!
I have never tried to knit socks, so I would like to give them a try this year!
Same here! I’d love to try making socks.
Happy New Year Chandi.
Those colours are beautiful. Fibre wise I will be crocheting pyjamas for my sister’s lurcher, as she is getting older and the British winter’s harsher she is struggling with the cold more. In terms of new things, I am going to be trying some flow art with acrylic paint and old damaged vinyl records to make some clocks and perfect throwing larger pots in my pottery class. It looks like I’m going to need an urn for my eldest dogs ashes before long, and I plan on throwing it myself.

I am working on a cardigan for a lady and need to learn how to do the duplicate stitch. I knit a lot but have never done this stitch before.
I am interested in learning more about knitting and learning new crochet techniques
I am going to try a MKAL. I bought the yarn and pattern. It started January 1st. I have to finish a sweater and wait for the yarn to arrive to start. I have never given up this much control on a project. Kind of scary. I also might be doing 2 projects at once. Also scary for me as I am usually so focused that I can only do one. I have been knitting for almost 30 years. The things I mention may seem easy for most. Not for me.
I want to learn to make garments fit my short body!
I’m going to try to make a Fisherman style sweater for my son this year. And I want to continue making socks – which was new to me in 2018. Thank you for your constant words of encouragement!!
I’d love to try spinning this year!
This year I am going to make a rectangle wrap for me! My comfort zone has always been triangular shawls.
Hi, Chandi and Tim! I received some of your gorgeous yarn for Christmas and am looking forward to casting it on. I am a fairly new knitter. I want to learn to knit socks this year.
I Love your yarn! The colors are amazing!
I have been knitting for about a year now and I think I’m ready to make a cardigan.
Wow. Love all the colorways. Not sure what to learn but am ready for a new challenge not only in knitting but in my career.
I’d like to learn to read Japanese knitting charts this year.
I want to move into crochet garments, not just scarves, ponchos, and shawls.
Hi Chandi,
This year, I would like to crochet my first cardigan. I have never made one because I am afraid of crocheting sleeves. I want to overcome this fear as once I am able to crochet and put together a cardigan or sweater, it will open a whole world of patterns that I have been avoiding.
Happy 2019!
Definitely want to learn brioche this year!
I would like to attempt making socks 🙂
Dear Ms. Expression Fiber Arts, Good morning and Happy New Year to one and all. This year brings new challenges of which one is to learn a new knitting technique with each new pattern tried. Everyone enjoy your day to the fullest. Thank you, Miss Dahlia

I’ve just learned to crochet, so I’m looking forward to making something using this new-to-me technique in the new year!
My goal for 2019 is to expand on my knitting skills. I consider myself an intermediate knitter and have been using more luxury yarns. I love the feel and the final fabric they create. Your yarns are so beautiful and your colorways are outstanding. Thank you for your creativity and continued work for the fiber world.
.I’m interested in learning to knot continental style
I’m interested in really trying to continental.. I know, but I’m a thrower.. so continental is my Everest. =]
Strangely enough I want to try doing more things for myself. Not that I don’t enjoy doing things for others but that it’s become unbalanced to where I’ve neglected me. I want to try different crochet styles like hairpin lace, broomstick lace, double ended crochet and many others. I want to try to improve my knitting abilities beyond just the knit stitch. I still want to learn tatting and try my hand at some lace making.
I’m interested in learning Brioche this year.
Brioche knitting.
Though I need to get through a bunch of WIPs first.
I want to learn how to spin yarn! I have friends who spin and I am fascinated by it.
i’m looking forward to learning to make socks and maybe my first top!!
In 2019 I hope to master 2 colour fair isle 🙂 I hope 2019 is all everyone needs, Happy New Year all 🙂
i am always trying something new. wool included as well as patterns.
I think I’ll try knitting a pattern that incorporates beads in the fabric. I found a pretty pattern for mitts on Ravelry and am excited to start it.
I am interested in seeing how many projects I can get finished this year.
Id like to learn fair isle
This year I want to have a calming, intentional routine in our home that makes it easier for me to intentionally invest in our boys and then help others.
I’m interested in learning how to skydive!
Love the yarn! I want to up my knitting game with brioche. I also tat, crochet, sew,embroider and do nalbinding. I want to try making 3D needle felted figures this year.
My interest this year is learning to knit…I have crocheted for 44 years and have tried knitting several times in the past…this year I’m determined to learn and I’ve watched your you tube videos…you have inspired me more with the way you hold your yarn and needles…fingers crossed, I will learn…Thank you
I’m going to do a little more colorwork, including learning to lock all the floats.
Just found out I have breast cancer – surgery will be scheduled shortly – plan on using knitting as my therapy. I have lots of yarn already, but one can never have enough!
I want to knit something out of all the yarn I have spun.
I would like to conquer my fear of crocheting a garment for the first time.
Brioche and I are going to become friends this year. So many pretty patterns use this technique and mixing and matching your yarns into them will be a delight!
I plan on teaching myself sock knitting and trying magic loop again…didn’t go well the first time, but 2019 will be the year!
Love the colors of this give away!
Tunisian crochet
New yarns. There are so many yarns nowadays!
I want to finish WIPs.
I want to try steeking this year. I’m working on improving my color knitting – I knit with two circulars and I get a fold where each needle ends.
I’d love to try more color work and advanced stitches.
I want to try zip lining this year – never been and I’m 66 – think it’s about time!!
I want to make a sweater! I’ve never made one before.
I’m interested in learning cables this year.
I’d like to try making a cabled sweater this year. Something completely new that hopefully turns out lovely. 🙂
I want to learn to do colorwork this year. It’s always intimidated me so I’ve never tried it. I have two new patterns that are colorwork patterns and hopefully I’ll be able to figure it out!
I want to try and be more accepting and a better listener this year- these colors are amazingly!
Hi Chandi ! Each New Year , I like to challenge myself…. the road less traveled….. 2018 – new technique – Chart Reading , and project goal in mind… the SOCK !!! made 4 pairs !!!! ( ^ ; * )

A sensational New year to you as you thrive forth Chandi , and Expression Fiber Arts !! xo marcia
I want to further my knowledge of knitting. I know how to knit and purl, but that is it. I want to be able to follow patterns. Also, I would like to start my crocheting using diagrams instead of written instructions. Thanks so much for this giveaway.
I would finally try knitting socks. The thought of using so many needles scares me lol.
I would like to try downhill snow skiing..if I do t try it soon, I may be too old to try it later 😁😎
I would like to try double knitting this year
I’d like to try my hand at spinning and dyeing yarn, and I’d like to write up and have a couple of my own patterns tested and published.
I want try glass blowing and see eagles in the wild
What absolutely gorgeous yarn. Can’t wait to try Mosaic knitting and Crochet in the new year.
I’m interested in trying to make my first cardigan and maybe even designing one too!
I am interested in finally learning/doing both knitting and crochet this year, and not letting my health issues getting in the way anymore, even if I only get 1 small part/row/round, ect done per day (maybe week, but preferably day).
As well as to start crocheting amigurumi, which I am a huge fan of! And to hopefully start (and finish?) some amigurumi that I promised as presents over the last few years to my younger brother, a friend of his, my 2nd cousins – who I think of more as nieces and nephew – and especially for my Tia, my great aunt, who turns 100 this April and is doing very well& is very active in her assisted living facility.
And making myself fingerless mitts/gloves which I also love!
And that probably sounds like a lot but these and other hopes have really kept me going through some difficult and unpredictable health issues i’be been dealing with.
Wow, O.o I kinda babbled a bit didn’t I?
Anyway the yarn is so amazingly beautiful! Whoever gets it is very lucky!
Oh, my! There are so many things on my list that I hardly know where to start…a fair isle sweater that I fell in love with on the cover of Vogue Magazine Fall 2018 issue, a sample afghan that has called my name for more than a year, a lace sweater that is forcing me to learn how to read charts (lots of frogging), socks for my sweet hubby and me, too! Then there is beautiful tweed cardigan than I would love to have but it will take time since it is so much color work, a lace wedding shawl for a friend’s daughter who will marry next year, a shawl or two for me, a blanket to take to the movies as I am always sooooo cold in air conditioning. And now for all those unfinished projects that I wasn’t skilled enough to do yet when I began them, a beaded shawl (done except to bead the entire fringe), a swing coat (has a pleated back and I couldn’t get it to lay flat….paid so much for the yarn that I became fearful that I would ruin it), a beautiful jacket in all mitered squares,,,love to work with wonderful fibers but this would cost me nearly $300! YIKES! I cannot rationalize the money for one piece, In the new year, I will work on fearlessness to tackle a lot of new things that I have never done before, There is no time like the present and the only one stopping me is me….am working on a slight attitude adjustment which will reflect the happiness and joy this art surrounds we with each time I do it….I have come to love a challenge, so bring it on! The colors of your yarn is so inspirational that just looking at the pictures you pair with the yarn makes me smile. I have made several of your patterns and loads more are tucked safely away awaiting the right yarn….the possibilities are endless….thank you for surrounding me with the beauty of your inspiration.
Beautiful colors – so calming!
This year I plan to finally make the cardigan I’ve been promising myself!
I learned to knit last year now I want to learn to crochet. I also want to finish all my knitting projects this year…hahahaha!
I think I’ll add brioche to my techniques this year. Love your giveaways!
I would like to try knitting mittens with a 4-needle set.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this wonderful collection!
I’d love to finally learn how to double-knit. I even have a pattern picked out and waiting to go!
I want to learn to knit a beautiful cabled sweater!!!
I want to do more crocheting. I learned that first when I was a kid from my grandmother, but it fell by the wayside when I picked up knitting 6 years ago!
(Perhaps I can crochet some baby hats for the NICU like I did when I first learned knitting on DPNs!)
I am starting a common wealth program for my special needs son this year. I have struggled with the thought for so many years, but finally have the courage to do it! He has struggled in school and his IEP team hasn’t known what to do, so the weight of school is much heavier than the home and common wealth school program. I am starting this next semester. New adventure for us, but I know he will thrive with this program and gain more confidence in himself and in learning.
I’d love to attempt a sweater for myself, this year.
I too am looking forward to mastering brioche this year. I have been so impressed by lovely pieces that use this technique!
This year I need to tackle getting consistent gauge, especially with my color work. I also need to get better with making sleeves. They never turn out the same on both sides…
I am finally learning to crochet this year. I have been knitting for several years and honestly crocheting was intimidating to me. But I watched all of your crochet videos (several times!) and others online and have finally made the leap. A fellow knitting/crocheting friend of mine gave me a whole bag of crochet goodies for Christmas to encourage me to hop on that horse….and all be, it worked! Worked up a couple of dishclothes to get me started. Looking forward to trying some bigger projects just haven’t figured out what direction to go yet. Always looking for inspiration and your website gives me a bunch! Well, you and Pintrest! 🙂
I am excited to learn copperplate calligraphy this year!
I want to learn rug hooking.
I don’t think there’s anything new at this time that I want to try with yarn. Except maybe finishing a project! That would be novel.
I’m excited about starting my double knitted blanket with yarn from you!
I just started to knit because I am going to be an aunt! I wanted to knit my niece a baby blanket. I want to try making a little baby hat and also knit with more confidence.
Wow, this yarn is what luscious looks like! I can’t even believe those colours!
I am new to knitting (old hat at crochet) and would like to continue to expand my skill set. This year I plan to learn socks and sweaters 😍

I would like to see the Grand Tetons!
To refine my knitting
I am going to learn to do brioche this year.
Happy New Year to you! I just got a Cricket loom and so I want to learn how to weave this year. Sometime in July I will be getting a mini eel spinning wheel so that is another thing I would like to learn this year! I am very excited to try both of them. Those lovely colors would look beautiful woven into scarves or something so thank you for the chance to win them!
This year, I’m going to make a top-down crocheted sweater with my Crochet Guild!
I want to learn new crochet stitches
What beautiful colours. I’ve been wanting to make myself my first top down sweater and these would make a beautiful graduated colour for it

I finished assembling my new table loom just before the end of the year – looking forward to trying it out in the new year! I’ve only done rigid heddle weaving previously.
I just started knitting a few months ago and I just know so very little. So this year I am interested in expanding my knowledge in knitting, maybe trying crochet, and getting married to my wonderful fiance.

I would love to try cable knitting this year!
I would like to commit more time to learning to knit, specifically socks!
That is my goal aswell
I am interested in getting out of my comfort zone and trying something new and different that I haven’t done before.
I’m learning to cable and I’m planning to learn how to make my knits fit better!
I want to make practical things for my home, like dishcloths and coasters!
I’m fairly new to knitting and I would like to learn stranded colorwork this year.
I really want to try to make a garment this year. I’ve been so nervous about doing so! Hats, scarves and shawls are so easy with sizing. A sweater is a whole new field of math and that worries me, but I’m hoping to give it a shot this year!
I would really like to try and knit a larger project. Seem to loose focus if I’m knitting anything larger than socks…
2019 will be the year of the steek! EEK! 😬
I love trying patterns with new skills for me. I crochet and knit, so there are endless possibilities.
This year, I want to make something with either entrelac or brioche knitting!
My goal this year is to continue whittling down my Ravelry queue!!

The new thing I’m trying this year (we’ll, one of them) is knitting. So far, I’ve only crocheted.
This year, I am really hoping to lean how to carve wood! I know it’s not a fiber art but I just love working with my hands in all sorts of mediums. In terms of fiber arts, I hope to try weaving! I love other people’s woven projects and would love to give it a try.
I am learning to use my brand new supported spindles… but I am planning on purchasing a weaving loom to learn to weave…. am very excited about weaving projects…💜💜💜
I am going to try designing an Entrelac sweater. These yarns are beautiful.
I’m interested in trying lace and using more colors.
I am a newbie weaver, so this year I would like to try weaving some of the multitude of skeins I have spun in the last few years.
I have been crocheting for at least 45 years. Just recently learned how to knit. Would like to learn more knitting stitches.
I would just like to dive into this divine yarn! The first project I would make with it is a Boho Vest that I have been saving for just the right yarn, and it’s for me! All the different colors would just add to the beauty of the pattern design. I’m saving to purchase the yarn for this project but it’s going to be quite a while before I have enough. It takes a minimum of 2,500 yards and I refuse to use just any old yarn, it has to be special.
I am interested in learning to decorate cakes.
I want to continue to challenge myself in trying different techniques of knitting. I just did a Christmas Stocking for my son following a chart 🙂
The year of the Steek! EEK! 😬
I love your yarn. So pretty and soft! I am going to try Brioche this year.
I just got some beautiful yarn for Christmas that I can’t wait to start making something with. I’ve always played it save when knitting or crocheting… sticking to shawls, hats, mittens, scarves, blankets. You know, the basic stuff. This year I really want to step outside my comfort zone and make myself a dress, or a sweater, so something of the sort. 😀
I took a class last year at my lys on a rigid heddle loom and made a scarf. I now have a very adjustable loom that can be a rigid heddle or an Inkle loom or maybe more. I want to learn my loom and learn how to weave lots of different things with it.I’m a knitter.
I’m interested in start dyeing my own yarn. I’ll start with unexpensive cotton yarn that I can easily find undyed in Brazilian yarn shops and if it works I can start with more interesting fibre. I’d love to learn how to spin, but finding the required material and course in Brazil is almost impossible.
I’m going to get over my fear of stranded knitting and make a fair isle sweater! Ok, maybe I’ll start with a pair of fingerless mitts first… 😬
I am hoping to learn how to beautifully hand letter this year
This year I want to knit my first pair of socks or first sweater or both if I can manage it!

I’ve been thinking about trying it for so long and now is the year I’m going to get over my anxiety about how hard it must be to do. Your yarns are beautiful!!!

I am interested in learning to spin. In fact I put it on my Christmas list ( a class offered by our local spinning guild) , but Santa didn’t bring it. I guess I will have to treat myself to a class.

I took a course, a one-afternoon course, 3 years ago and don’t remember most of it. So this year I want to take a short course and actually start and finish a project.

This will be the year I face my greatest knitting fear: Steeking! Eeek even just staying it is scary!
I received a book of Japanese knitting patterns for Christmas and I would love to try them out with your beautiful yarn. Thanks for all your uplifting messages!
I want to publish my first knitting pattern! I’ve been too nervous (and busy) to do it, but now I. have almost everything done….
Letting go of the past!! It seems so blasé, I know, but so much has happened in the past 17 years that was “rip my heart out” kind of wrongs done to me, that I literally had to live in survival mode. Now that the younger of the 2 daughters (from my first marriage) just turned 18, I was free to mourn all I lost in those 17 years!! I am married to a WONDERFULLY SUPPORTIVE husband and we have 2 beautiful daughters together!! What more could you ask for? When you live in survival mode for so long, it’s hard to turn the page and live “normally”. (I am anything but normal, LOL) So here’s to a new year and a new me of being able to let go. I tried to make it short, but failed. 😉
My goal this year is to learn to do a strict pullup. And to learn knitting in the round if you are asking for a specific craft goal. <3!
I love the hues of this month’s colors, especially the gray tones. My goal this year is to knit my first sweater. These yarns would be gorgeous!

My goal is to knit a sweater this year. These gorgeous yarns would definitely fit the bill!

I would love to learn knitting but in the meanwhile making a pair of socks is on my list for this year.
I learned to weave when I was young but have been thinking of taking it up again. That and C2C crochet.

This year I am hoping to buy your ebook and make an effort to sell my items online. I am disabled and any extra money I can bring in for my family would be huge right now.

dear chandi,
OMG these yarns are absolutely GORGEOUS!!!
but then, GORGEOUS is what you do every day!
thank you for all of your GORGEOUS yarns!
best regards,
daisy/margaret
This is going to be a year of HUGE learning with a new baby on the way! 🙂
My goal is to learn at least two new skills, such as colorwork (stranded or double knit), stacked increases to make Fox Paws, seaming, or crochet.
This year I plan on learning brioche knitting!
I would like to learn double knitting.
I want to try to make a sweater!
I’m interested in learning small ways to earn something financial from my decades of knitting so it would allow me freedom to take a few hours off work. I test knit occasionally in 2018 for the first time, and they pay me in yarn certificates but everything I make I give away. Hosting a small knitting retreat this year for knitters of all abilities, because I love teaching one on one but haven’t been able to take enough time off paid work to volunteer. Hope a day retreat would allow me to gather enough people to pay for the space rent and still teach whoever needs assistance.
Chandi – you make me so happy. Thank you for sharing your writing, your journey, and your YARN with the world. Seriously. I learned to knit from you, more than 35 years after my Great Grandma first tried to teach me, and you two are in my heart and in my hands every time I pick up my knitting. I tried Intarsia knitting for the first time last year, and I really want to get better at it this year. I’d like to do another brioche project too. Oh, and I have a reversible 2-color project that I bought the yarn and pattern for without realizing I have NO CLUE how to do it! I guess I have my work cut out for me in 2019. 🙂 Keep doing what makes you happy, Chandi — ‘cuz it makes the rest of us happy too! Happy New Year!!!! <3

Hi Chandi,
I am looking forward to new stuff you share with us via Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. You are the very 1st person who taught me how to knit through your video tutorials especially the “How to Knit-Even If Your Clueless”. I happen to be super clueless on knitting and how to do any of the stitches.
I want to say thank you for making such easy to follow videos. You really helped me learn new techniques I am starting to use for my projects. Hope you and your husband have a wonderful 2019.
From my family to yours,
Nicole Hubbard aka Rhona Nightshade

So now I’m trying a wrap that I hope will be the accessory I was going for. It’s something new, wish me luck!
I just lost my companion of 16+years…i have to learn how to be alone all over again. I am trying to start fresh and not wallow in my sorrow, but rejoice in the love we shared and live knowing he is still with me in spirit.

Chandi, I’ve been following you since you made your move from Northpole Alaska to SC. You had asked where was the nearest LYS in Edmonton Alberta and I had mentioned River City Yarns on the west side of the city, you had wanted to see what they carried in yarns and possibly talk to the store owner. You had mentioned that Edmontonians were very friendly in helping you get on your way to SC. I have so many projects under my belt. Trying new and old stitching in crocheting and knitting as I have been crocheting and knitting for over 50 yrs. and trying to remember what my grandmas use to make when I was little.

Since I’ve tried most crafts that I was interested in, and even some I really wasn’t, It’s hard to think of something to get very excited about- except winning all that lovely yarn!

I’m going to try out double knitting in 2019.

I’m going to take a beginning brioche class. I must learn ALL of the different techniques!
For 2019 I would like to keep up with my knitting and crochet. I have so many kits to complete and each one is so different, they will definitely keep my life interesting for the coming year. Trying to get them all done without buying more yarn and patterns will be my challenge.
Craftwise, I’d like to try Tunisian crochet. Oh, and I’m sure my husband would thank me for trying to finish more projects than I start as my collection of WIPs is growing LOL

Brioche for one , and how to be more organized to be productive! Lol
Forty-some years ago I made an afghan using what we then called the afghan stitch. There was a huge butterfly of many colors worked into the entire afghan. I just started crocheting again this summer after all this time, and I bought an afghan hook and intend to try something with Tunisian crochet again. At some places in the one I did before I had probably 20 different colors hanging off the back of the afghan. I don’t know that I will do something that intricate again, but I would love to try my hand at it this year. I also want to make a beautiful crocheted shawl for myself – my coat of many colors. I cannot imagine the thrill of winning so much beautiful yarn. I would have to share it, because I know I won’t live long enough to use it all myself!
I would like to try to sew clothes this year.
Interested in new color and texture combinations

Happy New Year! Ah, so many new things to try this year- at the top of my list is learning a new programming language and a data visualization softeware. I’ve wanted to for awhile- so it is time to make it happen. 😀 And of course on the crafty side, I want to try some more advanced knitted lace work, and more advanced socks. I’ve got a basic sock pattern almost memorized and need to give a new pattern a go. Lol, although I carried around my first ball of sock yarn for almost 10 years before finally trying to make some socks- 😂 now I have many pairs, different colors but same patern… For anyone thinking of making socks this year- go for it! It’s easier than you think and it’s so fun. I can’t believe it took me so long to give them ago! and what they say is true- it’s easy to get addicted to socks and sock yarn 😁

Hello, Chandi!
I have a few skeins of your yarn but not as many as I would like. They are all wonderful, and I look forward to acquiring more. 🙂 Although I would love to learn Brioche knitting, my current craft of choice as been crocheting. I have had severe problems with my left hand for the last 2-3 years, carpal tunnel and thumb basal joint arthritis. I had surgery to correct both issues in late November and am mostly looking forward to getting back into the crafting world. Keep up the good work!
I already know how to weave but I want to keep practicing and getting better. Mine dont look anything as beautiful as the folks I follow and its bumming me out! Keep practicing!

My hubby’s having major neck surgery, but as I watch your you tube channel and read your emails and blog, I know I’ll stay extremely positive, because you have such a bright, positive personality and always make me smile when I listen to you. Thank you and Happy New Year xx
I’m going to make an effort to finish my unfinished projects.
After over 25 years of knitting experience there are 2 techniques left I want to learn to do the right way: 2 color brioche and double knitting. Nathan Taylor aka Sockmatician has somee really great tutorials on both so I expect to be able to tick them off both this year.
Btw, a happy new year with all the love, happiness and luck you deserve!

I used to paint miniature figurines for tabletop RPGs, and lately I’ve been wanting to go back to it. It’s surprising how much detail can fit onto a pewter doll smaller than a thumb!. When painting was still a weekly hobby, I made it a point to try a new technique with each new figurine. This year, I’d like to get back into painting and try one of the harder skills: strawberry blonde hair! According to the group I used to paint with, it’s very hard to make it look natural. Sounds like fun to me!

I would love to test knit a pattern for a designer! Amy Appel recently made an IG post calling for test knitters for a new turban pattern, but let’s just say that my anxiety got the best of me and I worrried I wouldn’t be able to knit it, or I wouldn’t finish in time, blah blah blah. When she did close the application form I got really sad I hadn’t applied. I didn’t realise I had wanted to do this so much! Next time this opportunity arrives, I’m ruddy taking it!

Thank you so much for another opportunity to win all of this luscious yarn! One thing I’d like to try this year is designing my own knitwear. I designed one cowl last year, and even though I only sold 2 patterns, I enjoyed the process! Happy New Year and good luck to all!
I want to explore new knitting projects and try some new stitches! I also really want to devote more time to my etsy shop. I just had a baby so I haven’t much spare time to knit! Similar to how you create yarn inspired by your environment, I knit items that are inspired by my favorite nerd culture icons such as Pokemon and Harry Potter. I use colors and textures that remind me of the characters rather than using images of the characters themselves. I like to think that my items are one of a kind 🙂
This year I want to learn and finish a brioche pattern.

Hmm, a new thing I would like to try… I constantly try new things and techniques when it comes to making stuff 😛 Everything from crochet, arm-knitting, weaving rag-rugs and table runners, diamond painting, to dabbling in dyeing yarn with food colors and some feeble attempts at knitting, My main “thing” is crochet though 🙂 But I would like to try to spin my own yarn, and also I would love to try to work with your exclusive and scrumptious yarn instead of always having to chose the cheapest stuff 😛

I am getting way better with knitting and enjoying every bit of it espcieally when the kids give me a little break 😉 I have done scarf for a little one, I learned how to knit in a circular needle a snood and infinity scarfs, also hats, even tried the magic loop method.

Wish me luck 😉 as I’m wishing you all luck as well!
Because I will never get tired of learning new crafts, I would love to learn crewel embroidery. I just started dabbling in embroidery last year and I enjoy it almost (almost) as much as I enjoy knitting and crochet.

This year is the year of honing in techniques. I plan to finally concur brioche, construction of sweaters, all commonly used stitches that I haven’t had a reason or chance to use yet and work on my own creativity as much as possible rather than just following someone else’s ideas. It’s the year to better me than follow the crowd. I also hope to start down the rabbit hole of spinning and dabble in dying sometime this year. Im motivated to better myself in something I’m passionate about but also support those that are trying to do the same. I have been striving to buy more from small business as much as possible.

So far, I’ve made multiple dish cloths and pairs of flat knit slippers, and am currently working on my first oversized pocket scarf. My goal is to make everyone’s Christmas presents this year. To that end, since I’ve only really worked with economy yarn so far, I’d really love to try some higher quality yarn this year. <3 🙂

Like: all the WIP’s and hatched ideas. Wish me luck 🤣

I have many interests in learning how to spin and dye . But the number one I would like to do is make something nice for myself. I have knit and crocheted since I was 5. As of January 23rd , That makes it 50 years. I have been doing this and I have never made anything nice for myself. I might start something I like and I end up giving it to someone else who needs it more than me. I either want to make a nice dress for my youngest son’s college graduation or maybe a warm sweater jacket. I have started out making making many sweater jackets. Then I will be sitting in the car knitting or crocheting while others are shopping and there will always be someone walk up or walk by and I always chaise them down to give it to them lol., Maybe I just need more yarn to make something warm for who ever may need it, and if that it is me, so be it lol
