2020 Goals Review for September

I really worked hard on my goals during September. We ate a lot of salads and I added interval jogging into my exercise workout. It was a really nice month! I enjoyed my birthday this year too!

1. Lose 5 lbs. Hopefully this year I will be able to meet this goal. – This month I reached my goal but I won’t count it complete until the end of the year. I want to make sure that I keep it off!

2. Crafts – Completed

i. Completed 13 squares this year

b. Charity – I want to crochet at least 3 prayer shawls and make 10 more NICU hats.

i. January – prayer shawl completed

ii. February – prayer shawl completed

iv. July – 5 NICU hats. 

v. September - 5 NICU hats 

c. Knit a sweater. – Completed the Ground Pepper Sweater

d. Knit a ZigZag scarf – Completed

e. Repair the neckline on the Henley sweater I made a few years ago. – I looked at the sweater and realized that to fix the neckline, I would have to rip out both button bands and at this time, I’m not sure I want to do all that work so this goal probably won’t happen. I should receive partial credit for at least looking at it and considering it.
