Default Machine Knitting Challenge !?

I havn't pulled my machine out in several years. I am certain I
wouldn't even remember how to cast on. I am 42 years old and got my
machine while living for a year in England. My husband felt so sorry
that I had to leave my sewing machine back in the states for fear of
the electronics getting ruined in the move or power surges or
something....that he bought me the KM and gobs of wool cones.
I thought it might be fun to have an "Online Machine Knitting
Challenge". It wouldn't be for prizes or to see who could make the
best thing of course. It would be more to challenge ourselves to make
something with our knitting machines.
Let's give ourselves the rest of January to get organized,
figure out what we want to make and get our supplies organized,
ordered, purchased or whatever. It doesn't have to be anything
difficult.....just something to get the machine out of mothballs and
help us remember how fun it was to use. Let's give ourselves a few
weeks to complete the project and then, let's all post a picture of
what we did. That would be great motivation for me! Don't you think
that sounds like fun? An online challenge of sorts?
Now, I won't personally feel pathetic with my humble beginner
project on display.....but I do think that we should include everyone,
even those that never let their machines gather dust (because some of
those people love challenges and to show-off tooo).
Let's think of some guidelines that you like
1. Picture of item
2. However the knitter wants to be named by
3. Knitting Experience (and years of non-use)
4. Difficulty and Origin of Pattern (ie. pattern Co. or book)
5. If Original pattern - is poster willing to share the pattern?

Anything else?
What do you think?
Anyone think they would participate?
Joy
