    How does the challenge work? 

  • Set Your Goal: You can choose how you want to participate—whether it’s knitting or crocheting every day throughout March, completing a specific project (like a blanket, scarf, or toy), hosting a knitting or crochet event with friends and family, or making items to sell on for donations.
