hello, november!

Photo was taken almost exactly three years ago in Victoria, BC, Canada.

I love November! The month is usually calm compared to October (exams, start of the new term, lots of birthdays) and December (exams, lots of shop orders, CHRISTMAS). So here are a couple of goals I set myself for the next 30 days:

• finish the Christmas quilt (that I started last year...)
• bake a sweet potato pie
• finish decorating my sewing room
• learn a new spinning technique bought the craftsy class 'drafting from worsted to woolen' by Jacey Boggs Faulkner and learned so much, it's overwhelming!
• finish knitting at least five Christmas presents
• knit a pattern from a book. (done! though I can only share the project after Christmas...)
• publish my first knitting pattern
• walk at least 6k steps each week
• read a book. I cheated and had a CD read it to me, but I finished 'Fall of Giants' by Ken Follet & loved it!!

So many fun things to look forward to!

Do you have any (crafty) plans for November?
