My 2024 Make Nine prompts
As in the previous years, I use Make Nine "prompts" instead of listing specific projects to allow for more flexibility, serendipity, and success. I started using prompts in 2021 as this works best for me. As in the past, I've kept a few favorites from previous years, modified some, and revisited one from previous years.
Here are my prompts for 2024:
- UFO: I have several. Doesn't everyone? This helps whittle down the pile.
- Wild Card x 2: I've got two spaces for unanticipated things that pop up during the year.
- Yarn project: I've included a yarn prompt again. This prompt was absent from Make Nine 2023 but I will usually do something with yarn during the year, so it has its own prompt again.
- Mend/Upcycle: this is a favorite prompt of mine! It reinforces the idea of taking care of the things were already have and also checks the "sustainability" box.
- Learn More in '24: Learning a new craft, technique, tool, substrate, etc. keeps me open and challenged and feeds my curiosity.
- Online Challenge: this was a new prompt in 2023 and I've included it again this year. There are so many great Challenges that people and groups are hosting online. I have participated in several through the years.
- Make it Again: Another favorite! I'll likely use a tried-and-true pattern with a new fabric or print. Enjoying the process without much prep or research.
- Fun and Easy: another repeat prompt. These projects usually coincide with a charity project, a gift, or a mindful project that is easy and portable. These provide instant gratification and a sense of accomplishment.
Another good mix of prompts and project potential. Let the making begin!
