Back to School!

August29

Dear Ida,

With all this talk of going back to school, I think now is the time to reveal our latest project: Back to School CHALLENGE!

Copied from the details page:

Always wanted to try a technique, but haven’t had the guts? Afraid of steeking? Nupps? Colorwork?

Now is the time! Join Crafty Detour for a Back to School CHALLENGE!

Challenge yourself to learn something new. Post your ideas, progress, trials, and tribulations in the Ravelry group or on the Back to School Challenge page on Crafty Detour. Receive support and encouragement from your fellow knitters/crocheters. And at the end, we will do a random drawing for prizes! What better excuse can you ask for? Learn something new and have a chance to win a prize!

Stay tuned for more details!

I hope lots of knitters join us and challenge themselves to learn something new.

-Heather

Heather and Sarah welcome you to Crafty Detour. What is Crafty Detour?

It’s kind of like a podcast, but without audio. A place where Sairy Knits and Digitalnabi come together to provide a two part perspective where other blogs usually only provide one. It’s truly a detour from our usual blogging which we will continue to do on our own sites. CraftyDetour is a joint venture that will enable collaborative projects in the future.

Heather is the creative director for The Alpaca Yarn Company. She also designs knitwear, teaches, and blogs here: digitalnabi.com. She’s web programmer by day, a designer by night and a knitter always.

Sarah is a researcher/analyst for a stock indexing company – a job that keeps her on her toes! She has been knitting since starting graduate school for Applied Statistics in 2005. Sarah knits, spins, and dyes yarn and roving for her etsy shop: Stitches ‘n Rows. Her personal blog is Sairy Knits where she tries to blog about finished objects, test knitting, her fat cat Haley, food, and whatever else is on her mind when she can remember.
