2021 Goals Review for November

We have moved to our Beach House for the winter and haven’t had a lot of exercise but we have been working on the house. I have been trying to eat fewer calories which has helped.

1. Lose 5 lbs. – I am up 1 lb. from the beginning of the year so I have one more month to lose 6 lbs. in order to meet this goal.

2. Knit 12 squares on my national park blanket. (There are 60 squares in the pattern and this is year 4 of the project.) – 57 squares complete. I’ve knit a total of 18 squares this year. This goal is complete.

3. Knit a sweater. – I finished 6 sweaters this year: the Nesting Cardigan, The Rocket Tee, Bright Axis, 2 Recalibrates, and the Staple Linen Top. – This goal is completed

4. Design 3 new patterns – I completed three designs: The Chinese New Year Cowl and the Double Happiness Sock, and Graveyard Field Socks.

5. Read 12 nonfiction books. – goal completed.
