Miko's Challenge 2010

Miko has decided, "a-la-Julie-and-Julia" style, that it would be fun to put out a personal challenge to knit up a book of patterns in a year! That's right... pick a book/ magazine/ publication... of your choice... and commit to stitching up every item in it.

Imagine the possibilities?

You might choose an actual book, a magazine, an issue of Knitty, what ever you want! It might be technique specific, designer specific, all hot bottle cozies for all it matters

...the point is-- you challenge yourself and work away at it all year!

And of course we will have a big party/trunk show to show off the knitterly goodness and reminisce about the trials and triumphs of the journey along the way. We will need to keep close tabs on the instigator of this challenge, so each newsletter will have a Miko's Challenge update... already there are some takers and people choosing their publications! Look for a discussion to start on Ravelry in The Purple Purl Group for us all to see the happenings, post triumphs and tragedies, and for more information as we go!

Reveal you book choice in the Ravelry Purple Purl Group forum There has a been a suggestion to tag all your items in Ravelry with miko-challenge so we can all peek at how things are progressing NOTE the spelling so we are all on the same page/tag! Good idea Rebecca!
