ARE YOU NEW TO KNITTING?

Do you remember your first knitting project? What did you
make? How old were you? What kind of yarn did you use? The
conversation between two new knitters, Shayna Rose and
Michelle Obama, page 26, reminds us of how exciting
it is to conquer a new craft, master the terminology,
take joy in the gaining of new skills, and, best of all,
experience the power of making something!
For myself, while it is somehow true that I’ve now Nestled in the trunk Norah took off to col-

projects, including her first sweater, knit in

at the county fair.
in a new way, I am never bored with knitting. I love
being perennially a new knitter.

take small stitches and turn them into something great!”

IT ALL BEGAN SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

Instagram was gaining popularity, and Cecilia
Nelson-Hurt (aka Creative Ceci) wanted to
create a visual way to share the projects she
and her friends had created. She landed on
the hashtag #Fiberuary as a fun way to con-
nect and keep their posts aligned. That first
year, it was just a casual group of Ceci and
her friends, but the second year, she decided
to add simple prompts featuring words or
actions that would resonate in different ways:
Blue, Pink, Socks, and more.
By 2018, it was time to give the challenge its own Instagram pro-
file, @Fiberuarychallenge, for a more official 28 days of fiber fun and
love. That was this year that Kristy Glass Knits, Nerdbird Makery, Kim
the Crafty Nomad, and others joined in to offer prizes and help pro-
mote the challenge. But 2019 was the year that the Fiberuary Chal-
lenge went truly global. Crafters from around the world joined in the
challenge, expanding past U.S. borders to countries like Canada, Aus-
tralia, the U.K., France, Japan, Brazil. New fiber friends were made
internationally. In 2020, Nelson-Hurt made a conscious decision to
be more inclusive with language, taking specific references to knitting
out of the challenge, leaving it more open to encourage and welcome
all crafters. She was learning, and the community was growing.
2021’s Fiberuary Challenge surpassed all expectations. The chal-
lenge continued to grow in participation, adding crafters from Turkey,
Germany, the Netherlands, Argentina, and Kuwait to the international
roster.
“Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that something I
created for fun between me and my friends would grow to connect
the community,” Nelson-Hurt says. “During Covid, we needed and
searched for means of true and authentic connection. I hope that in
some way through participating in the Fiberuary Challenge, those
needs were met.” n
