In this video I put myself on a very specific kind of crochet chaos: a 12-hour bucket hat challenge. The goal was simple—start and finish a wearable bucket hat in one day—and then be brutally honest about whether it was a success or a total fail. If you’ve ever stared at a half-done WIP and thought, “I can totally finish this today,” you’ll understand the energy here. I talk through the reality of time-boxed making, what I focused on to keep things moving, and the mindset that helps when you’re racing the clock (because let’s be real—sometimes the project goes great and sometimes you’re fixing your own mistakes at hour eleven). This is the kind of challenge that’s perfect for market prep motivation, skill-building, and figuring out what you’d do differently next time. If you’re into crochet makes, quick challenges, and a little real-life messiness while I try to make something cute and functional in Canada—this one’s for you.
