September seemed to really go by fast. I went to a knitting retreat in the middle of September and we really overate during this time.
1. Lose 5 lbs. – No change since last month. I’m not sure I will accomplish this goal this year.
2. Finish my national park blanket. - complete!
3. Year of the Gnome - knit at least one gnome a month. Completed 9 gnomes.
4. Knit a sweater. - Complete!
5. Yarn - more out than in (use more yardage than I buy) – I started the Camp Along blanket, and a pair of socks this month but I really didn’t get anything finished.
-Yarn used - 7005 yds.
-Yarn bought - 10050 yds.
6. Design 3 new patterns. – Finished one sock design and a cowl design.
7. Learn something new. - Complete! I’m mosaic crocheting a blanket and dabbling with watercolor painting. I also added embroidery this month which I haven’t done since I was a child.
8. Read 12 nonfiction books - read 10 books so far.
