And there’s October. And it’s still summer hot here in the American South. We will see little change in the weather for at least another month. My handknits loving heart mourns for sweater weather.

I didn’t really knit this month—I have to fix some of my garter blanket strips and that caused my interest in the project to flag. It doesn’t feel like autumn, and I haven’t felt much like knitting. I’ve been focusing on embroidery instead.

Anywho.

This year, I’ve decided to stick with the same knitting goal I’ve had since this decade started: knit something every month. That’s it. Yes. Knitting happened. Barely.

What about you, kitten?  Is it cooling down where you are—or warming up if you’re in the global south? Are you starting to do seasonally appropriate activities? Maybe enjoying your weather with outdoor time? Did you do anything for Halloween? Did you work on anything you’re excited about? Maybe you read something you’d like to recommend?

Take care of yourselves and each other.

XO,
Amanda
