CMD Yarn Challenge 2026

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Below you will find the "rules" and the challenge list. Every time you complete one of the challenges, you will add the photo along with which challenge you completed to a post in the CMD FB Group. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/canoemtndesigns) Be sure to add the NUMBER challenge you completed so we can keep track.

Every month there will be another post for anyone who has completed at least 1 challenge. A winner will be chosen & they will receive 3 crochet patterns of their choice.

You will get credit for 1 challenge even if the project you are working on fulfills the requirements for multiple challenges. You can only use each challenge once in the 12 month period.

Look for the photo below in the CMD FB Group, add your name if you are joining the challenge! Your name will be added to a spreadsheet where I will keep track of how many challenges you finish monthly and/or in 2026.

RULES:

• One project per challenge task. (No double dipping! You'll get credit for 1 challenge even if the project you are working on fulfills the requirements for multiple challenges.)

• Once you have finished one of the challenges, post a photo of your finished item and which challenge it is for. There will be a Challenge Post on the CMD FB page. 

• We will keep track on a spreadsheet.

• Monthly prize drawings will also happen at the end of each month for those who have completed a challenge that month.The prize will be 3 patterns of your choice from Canoe Mtn Designs, or possibly one of my designer friends.

• All projects must be completed between 1/1/26 & 12/31/26.
