2020 Goals Review for October

I really worked hard on my goals during October! 

 1. Lose 5 lbs. Hopefully this year I will be able to meet this goal. – I’m still doing well with my weight. I have kept up my exercising and eating right. 

 2. Crafts – I've met my goal. 

a. Knit 12 squares on my national park blanket. I have a total of 35 completed now. (There are 60 squares in the pattern, and this is year 3 of the project.) 

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 

iii. June – prayer shawl complete 

iv. July – 5 NICU hats. 

v. October – 5 NICU hats 

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

3. Read 12 nonfiction books that are related to nature. – Completed 

a. The Eighty Dollar Champion: Snowman, The Horse That Inspired A Nation by Elizabeth Letts 

b. A Lion Called Christian: The True Story of the Remarkable Bond between Two Friends and a Lion by Anthony Bourke and John Rendall 

c. The Adventures of Henry Thoreau: A Young Man's Unlikely Path to Walden Pond by Michael Sims 

d. The Story of My Boyhood and Youth by John Muir 

e. The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova Bailey 

f. The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt's New World by Andrea Wulf
