10/25/50 Project Challenge

I have decided to join the 10/25/50 projects challenge.

The Rules:

  • Have fun reducing your pattern stash.
  • There is no time limit- people have different size projects they would like to work on.
  • Thou shall not purchase any new patterns until 10, 25, or 50 projects have been stitched.
  • Pattern size does not matter.
  • This challenge can also apply to knitting, beading, sewing and crocheting patterns.
  • You can make some exemptions. My exceptions are that I am allowed to buy stash for inclusion in exchange packages and I can buy supplies needed to complete projects on my list as long as I absolutely can't substitute something using my existing stash.
  • Gifts, gift cards, trades, RAKs (stash sent by others randomly) and patterns bought with gift money are not a violation of this challenge.
  • Freebies count as part of your total and you can aquire them at any point.
  • You do not have to declare the projects you intend to work on. (If listing would make you feel better please do so)
  • The offical start date of this challenge for me was October 1, 2006.

    Here is my list (30 not 25) in no particular order. I actually have a list of 50 items but I am committing to stitching and completing 25 of the projects listed before buying any new stash for myself.

It is nice to know that many of us will be doing this challenge. We can encourage each other...especially as there will probably be some great new releases around the holidays!
