November 2015 Crafty Photo A Day Challenge

Where in the world has this year gone????? There's only two months of 2015 left. So, let's look to see what November's GGKCRAFTYPAD has in store. This month our theme is being thankful. You'll notice that several of the days have the same prompt, thankful. We're encouraging you to share with us several things you're thankful for over the course of the month. So let's look at the November 2015 Geeky Girls Knit Crafty Photo A Day Challenge prompts list.



What does ______ mean?
WIP = Work In Progress
#WIDN = What I'm Doing Now
FO = Finished Object

So, how can you participate???? Well, there are actually several ways:
INSTAGRAM - Honestly, Instagram will be the primary arena for participating in this challenge. Simply take your photo, add a caption to it, tag it with the hashtag #GGKCraftyPAD and share it. By adding the hashtag #GGKCraftyPAD , others who are participating will be able to see the pictures that have been shared for the daily prompts. C.C. is on Instagram as cc_almon & Damaris is on Instagram as d_isabitgroovy so make sure to follow them if you haven't already.

TWITTER - You can also share on Twitter by taking a photo and uploading it to Twitter along with the hashtag #GGKCraftyPAD . Follow us on Twitter as cc_almon and d_isabitgroovy.

FACEBOOK - Feel free to share with your friends on your own Facebook profile page or on our Facebook page.

OTHER PLACES - Feel free to share your photos other places like your own blog, Ravelry, Tumblr, Flickr, etc. Be creative and then tell us about it! :-)

How will you remember what the daily prompts are???? Again, there are several ways:
~Save the image above to your phone or your computer and check it daily. Maybe even make it your wallpaper.
~Bookmark this post in your web browser and come back daily for the next prompt.
~Save this monthly Google Calendar as a bookmark in your web browser or even add the Google Calendar to your own Google Calendars.
~Follow us on Instagram as cc_almon, on Instagram as d_isabitgroovy and/or on Twitter as cc_almon and on Twitter as d_isabitgroovy as we'll be posting the prompt for that day at some point during the day.

Most of all, we just want to encourage you to be creative. We hope this is as fun for yall as it is for us!!! Can't wait to see your photos!

And don't forget, each week, we will choose our 5 favorite photos from Instagram and they will be shared in the podcast and show notes for the podcast following that prompt. There are so many great photos and we can't pick all of them, but we love looking at everyone's!

Until next time,
Happy Knitting!

Ask the Geeky Girls -
Jen (TinyDancerKnits) from Texas asks:
For C.C.: I live in Texas and I love it here, but Texas is not the ideal state for fiber crafts. I am determined to let nothing stop me from knitting my heart out!! And so far, I love knitting everything, from sweaters to socks, hats and mitts, stuffed animals and dishcloths, and everything in between. If you were still living here (as in TX), would that change the way you knit or what you knit?
