Melissa (of Miso Crafty Knits) are hosting our 10-day Instagram challenge again, because it’s always so much fun!!!

Starting this Friday, October 28th, we will be hosting a fun and easy-to-do 10 day Instagram challenge that will get you looking at your day in a new way.

 An Instagram Challenge is a series of daily photo prompts for a set number of days. The prompts are meant to inspire you to engage in the world around you a little differently, and take a photo to share on your Instagram account. There is no ‘right’ way to interpret a prompt, they are meant to be a little bit vague so that you can interpret them any way you like! Even if you don’t have an idea for one of the prompts, sometimes I wait until a few others have posted, and it sparks my creativity, as well.

You should come join us! It’s addictive and really fun to see all the different ways people can translate the same word or phrase with a photograph. when you click on the  #CraftyBlissChallenge  hashtag, you automatically go to a feed that shows all the photos tagged with that special hashtag- so you’ll be able to check out all kinds of interesting and awesome photos from other knitters and crafters. You will probably even find some new people to follow who regularly post photos that you really enjoy.

How to participate: You’ll need an Instagram account (which is free). Then for 10 days (from from Friday October 28th to Sunday Nov. 6th) you just take a photo or share one via your Instagram account and tag it with our special hashtag- #CraftyBlissChallenge.  Don’t forget- if your account s set to private, we can’t see your images! So if you normally have your account set to private and want to participate, you will need to adjust them to public for just the duration of the challenge- then we can heart your beautiful photos, make comments, all kinds of fun!

Here are the prompts we came up with:

And prizes!!!!

We will have prizes like last time, too! For those of you who post for all 10 days, two lucky (and randomly selected) participants will win some knitterly goodies! As if sharing all the pretty wasn’t enough motivation, right?

I hope some of them already have your mind buzzing, thinking up things that you could share and tag. Don’t forget, you don’t have to be literal about any of this. Melissa and I will be on it every day, checking out all the photos with the hashtag, and sharing our own. If you haven’t participated in an Instagram challenge before, this is a great group to start with, very friendly and lots of fun. And if you are joining, help us get the word out- feel free to tweet or repost the prompts to your Instagram feed. If you want to get a jump on things, you can check out my instagram feed here, and Melissa’s instagram feed here. I hope you will join us!
