I think many of you will enjoy seeing a snappy year at a glance as well so you will know what to look forward to and plan. Please BOOKMARK THIS PAGE so you can check back often.
Year Long Events
- This list does not include new release crochet patterns that will be released throughout the year and are not part of any event.
- Some things will not have all of the info until we get closer. Dates and links will be updated as available.
- There will NOT be any seasonal gift or holiday events other than what is listed below. Instead, a pattern will posted each Monday that I think would be great for gifts.
- Swap Events – I LOVE THESE!!! Unfortunately, they are a lot of work so I have to limit how many I can do. There will be ONE dishcloth swap (“spring cleaning swap” starting January 9th) and ONE ornament swap (in July).
- Snappy Newsletters – Each TUESDAY at 5pm mt (7pm et) a newsletter will be sent. I tried to stick to this plan in 2022 and some weeks I just didn’t have anything extra special to say. This year, so you know you are receiving the newsletters, these will be sent on that schedule… some weeks the newsletter might just be better than others.
“Seasonally Snappy 2023” – this is my popular, annual, year-long PAID event. You can sign up and get more info at THIS LINK.

THANK YOU for visiting my site! Happy new year wishes to you, your friends, and family 💕
I want to make time for myself more and therefore more time for crochet this year.
don’t make goals but before I start New projects I think is it something I should do. reading and crocheting are my passions
I also love to read and crochet so I now listen to audio books while I crochet. I find that I keep a more even pace and get more accomplished.
Do less work have more family time
My 2023 goal carries over from what I started in 2022. Finish deleting all duplicate patterns, keeping the highest quality, and labeling them to the exact name of the pattern.
My daughter-in-law in Canada is learning to crochet. I plan to be a resource for her for as long as she needs it.
To teach both of my granddaughters to crochet.
My goal is to make enough ornaments to have a totally handmade tree next (this year) and to learn how to knit. Happy New Year fellow Snappiers. 🙂
I’d like to finish what I start before starting another project.
I’ve learned not to set crafting goals. My multiple chronic illnesses love to interrupt my plans, and I hate not meeting my goals. Instead, I just make whatever strikes me at the moment.
I have set several crochet goals for myself, for the upcoming year. The first, (which I have tried to do for the past 3 years, but keep getting side-tracked), to make a flag a month from your flag series. Second, to finish or frog a number of WIP’s, most going back almost 3-4 years. (Yes, I squirrel easily when new patterns come out). Third, to finish a number of designs that I have been working on and to get them posted. Lastly, to get more organized, so I do not have in excess of 10 WIP’s and working designs, waiting to be finished. Guess I will need to get a planner or journal and start filling it up.
My goal is to write out and publish a pattern a month
I have a whole graph book of washer designs
My goal is to finish my grandson’s Filet Mickey Blanket
My goal for 2023 is to take better care of myself and to focus on giving to others which brings me happiness. And by giving I mean sharing my crochet abilities by making things purposefully ❤
My goals for 2023 are to crochet more and complete my projects in a timely manner lol and to become healthier + stay that way. Happy New Year
My daily goal is just to be the best person I can be, by being kind to others and trying to help them wherever I can. Crochet wise, I’m hoping to finish a huge blanket project but I’m still trying to gather all the yarn. I want it to be super nice and soft so just any yarn will not suffice.
I hope to finish WIP’s before starting new ones!😂
Well, it’s a goal anyway…..
Happy, prosperous, and healthy 2023!!!!!!!!
My goal is to get some wips finished and organize my stash and craft room.
Ok not sure what’s going on… let me try again…

First off, thank you Heidi for all you do for the crochet community. You’re awesome! My crochet goals for 2023 include learning more Tunisian crochet skills and to learn Mosaic crochet. Both intrigue me but I haven’t taken time to learn because I’m always testing patterns and have a wish list a mile long. Happy new year to you.
I plan to really make an effort to finally complete my GNOME wall hanging!!!!! I have done the gnome, and only 2 of the monthly add-ons. Sheesh, I must be the slowest of all. Life just seems to keep getting in the way. I also have 1 grandchild temperature blanket to finish, and then must get busy on the 5 great-grands a temperature blanket. Have a Happy New Year, Heidi!
My goals for 2023 is to crochet daily (atleast a few stitches); read atleast 24 books; and I hope to do a market.
One goal is to focus on finishing up more WIPs this year.
Ich nehme mir das Gleiche vor wie in diesem Jahr:
Ich werde mir keine neue Wolle kaufen, bis die Wolle, die ich zu Hause habe, komplett verarbeitet ist.
Ich habe es dieses Jahr tatsächlich geschafft 🙂 und ich habe noch immer so viel Wolle, dass ich den Vorsatz für nächstes Jahr weiter führen will.
