I'm feeling pretty victorious right now. I just posted my 30th crochet pattern in as many days. Every day in April I posted a new crochet pattern!

Here are a few facts for you about my 30 day journey.

I came up with this idea on March 28.
I had 7 beanies crocheted before I started.
I had pictures taken and edited of 3 of the 7.
I had 0 patterns ready to go.
I did not buy any new yarn for this challenge.
I worked a full time teaching job as well as after school tutoring while posting a new crochet pattern every day.

And I'm damn proud of myself! I honestly can't believe I was organized enough to plan ahead and pull all of this off. A lot of days I was still crocheting the beanie in the morning, photographing it on my lunch break, putting the pictures in the pattern and posting it at night. Whew!

So, why did I put myself through this difficult challenge?

I wanted to use up some of my stash.
I needed practice putting my stuff out there without overthinking everything.
I wanted to experiment with the best days/times to post new content.
I wanted to have 30 more patterns to post on the web and start bringing in some passive $$!

And what were my results?

I nearly quadrupled the number of subscribers to my mailing list.
I have 100 new Instagram followers. And that's a lot considering I had about 275 when I started the challenge.
I have 30 new patterns to post to Etsy, Ravelry and Craftsy.
I feel so much more confident! People like my stuff! They really like it! Hooray!
