Hi guys!
Can I be honest with you guys? I miss blogging. I miss taking pictures, reading your comments, posting my work on here. And who's fault is it? Summer! I'm always outside, staying away from the computer as much as I can. Is is Fall yet?
Even though I don't post it here, I've been a busy bee! Almost every spare time is deidcated to knitting, and I have tons of new ideas! I'm still working on my Zébulon shawl in Skein Yarns Vintage Lace, and I have a few designs on the back burner as well, but there is a new mini collection taking form in here...
And now, what is this "self given challenge" I talked about in the title? Let me explain: I love doing lists, having this to do, having deadlines. I know, it might sound silly, but I love having a date, a goal in mind when I knit. Ok, maybe not that silly, but it helps me a lot in order to achieve something. So here is my self given challenge: I will try, as of September 1st 2011, to release a new design every 1st of a month! That means, on September 1st, stay tuned, because my Zébulon shawl will be ready and live!
That mean I should start other designs right away....

Great idea - it should be a fun challenge. My friend who is a professor always needs a deadline, even if it's not school or work related. I should start giving myself deadlines. I think I could be more productive.
That lace yarn looks yummy. What fibers are in it? I can't deal with lace weight, but if I can find something like it in a dk or worsted, I'll be a very happy girl. Looking forward to all of the new patterns!
Yes, I think lots of knitters are sort of getting ready for autumn weather. I know I am. I'm so looking forward to your patterns!
That does sound like a great challenge! Looking forward to viewing all of your hard work... I'm sure it will be beautiful.
ooh, what a great challenge!! Can't wait to see the new pattern.
Great idea. I'm a list person too. I heard someone say this weekend that you can only fail if you don't take action. Good for you!
I am just now getting back into my knitting. Setting up stuff for fall and trying not to set myself up with too many patterns. Very hard!!
The laceyarn looks great. I cant wait to see your new designs.I`m sure they will be great :-)
ho you're hard on yourself!! ...but i'm looking forward to see those projects!
Just come back to Germany! We have the season over an dover again in one week: spring, summer, fall - luckily not quite winter yet. You can be sure to get a rainy afternoon for knitting or if it's not raining it is just warm enough to sit on the balcony, watch the clouds rush past and knit.
That is quite a challenge!
I make lists too but these days more to get stuff out of my head without the fear of forgetting. I used to be too stressed out with my off-work lists. They are options these days. It is alright to just sit and chat with a friend if it happens. Or just look at my flowers. Or take a nap.
I love making lists! And particularly crossings things off!
I'm also a great fan of lists. My friends used to make fun of me for how long I would make them. I need deadlines too. Don't get anything done otherwise.
Sounds like a fun challenge. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Excuse my way to speak, I'm french, it's very brave to propose a new design evr=ery month, good luck
One design a month is VERY impressive. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with! :)

That's quite a challenge for you, but so good for us! In the meantime, recharge your batteries enjoying the sun!

i salute you!!!!
What an awesome challenge, good luck! You've inspired me! I'd like to modify your challenge and challenge myself to finish one knitting project each month (that would be a big deal for me). Love your blog!
