Steal this idea

While I was eating breakfast this morning and reading the Yarnharlot’s blog, she gave me a great idea.  She has set up for herself a sock of the month project.  At the beginning of the year, she prepared 12 bags with a pattern and yarn.  Each month, she draws one out and works on it.  So even though I’ve been reading about this sock of the month project for 8 months now, it just struck me this is a very theft worthy idea.  I should do this for my own crafting and book list.  Let’s face it.  Waiting for opportunity to show up isn’t working.  This year it seems when she shows up, she hasn't been bringing along motivation. Which is to say, it has been a rather unproductive year.  This isn’t to say that I wouldn’t craft or read outside of the monthly selection, but that these selections would be small enough to complete in a short amount of time.  Thus, one could surmise that motivation for bigger projects could be boosted by completing a series of smaller ones.  I like it.  I love the idea of nearly insurmountable challenges except, they tend to be nearly insurmountable (what is wrong with me?  It’s like I want to fail).  So maybe this way at least something will get done and you guys won’t have to look at 10 pictures of sweater and try to figure out if I’ve made any progress (which I have by the way).  You’re welcome. :)
