Blog about a pattern or project which you aspire to. Whether it happens to be because the skills needed are ones which you have not yet acquired, or just because it seems like a huge undertaking of time and dedication, most people feel they still have something to aspire to in their craft. If you don’t feel like you have any left of the mountain of learning yet to climb, say so!
I don't think a pattern has to necessarily be complicated to be inspiring. What should make it inspiring is that the finished product looks good, makes one feel good and that you feel proud of having completed it. A pattern I'd love to make and find very inspiring is the Babette blanket. It is such a beautiful design, looks absolutely stunning and is not without the realms of possibility for me to make; there are some gorgeous examples over at Ravelry and Flickr, so many different colours and combinations, proving this pattern to be a head-turner and the finished article to be something I would treasure.
I don't have a specific pattern in mind yet, but apart from scarves, mittens and hats, I haven't yet crocheted any garments, and this is something I am going to remedy soon. Perhaps this jumper which I like a lot?
As for a new skill, I would like to learn how to do Tunisian crochet. I have some hooks, bought by accident (don't shop online late at night when tired!) so one day sooner or later I will get round to it!
