Due to the Coronavirus, we have decided to social distance ourselves for most of March. This means we haven’t gone out to eat or visited with friends. I did a lot more writing, reading, and crafting. I was able to design 2 new patterns and even though it wasn’t one of my goals, I am very proud of this.
1. Lose 5 lbs. Hopefully this year I will be able to meet this goal. – I haven’t lost any this month but I have been able to increase my exercise. My weight has gone up and down all month. I just can’t resist the chocolate donuts and Ben and Jerry ice cream!
2. Crafts – I believe by actually setting a goal, I will complete the projects that I want to do. If I’m not specific, certain projects will always be on the back burner.
a. Knit 12 squares on my national park blanket. I have a total of 25 completed already. (There are 60 squares in the pattern and this is year 3 of the project.)
i. Completed 6 squares
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
c. Knit a sweater. – Completed the Ground Pepper Sweater
d. Knit a ZigZag scarf – It is actually called the ZickZack scarf and I started it on 3/19/20
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.
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
