- Annual Yarn Challenge
- Project List
- Stash (opens Airtable in new tab)
Ravelry has a fun tab in the projects section of your notebook that allows you to set the number of projects you’d like to complete this year, and then automatically tracks how far along you are with your goal. Any project completed within the year is counted, but it also shows you how many WIPs you’ve got in case you want to finish one of them instead of starting something new.
I’m transferring my yarn stuff over here to my blog. While Ravelry’s annual challenge isn’t essential or even especially useful, it is quite fun to decide a goal and see if you stick to it. Thus, I decided to keep a full record of previous challenges here, You know, just for the hell of it.
Not all of these projects will be transferred from Ravelry to my blog. Those that are will be linked. You can see my full list of WIPs and finished projects here: Project List.
2022
2021
I didn’t set a goal for myself this year. I didn’t have plans for knitted/crocheted gifts and just kind of started projects as they appealed to me. I’m still interested to know how many I’ll have made at the end of the year, though.
I’ve moved to tracking projects mostly via Airtable now.
