End of month yarn stats:  61 entries, 93 skeins, 28403.60 yards.

September.  September was wild.  I actually only bought 12 skeins (three entries) on the 14th.  One entry (of six skeins) is mine, one (four skeins) is my husband's, and one (two skeins) is my son's.

I also decided to frog some of the projects started earlier this year (Ceciliana and the Goblin socks).  Ceciliana's yarns weren't playing well together, and the yarn for the socks wants to be a hat (probably a third Musselburgh - that's a fun one to knit).

For September's goals, I got through 3 and 4.  I'm so close to finishing Walter's jacket.  It's currently blocking and needs buttons, but it's otherwise done.  The camping stuff is half put away.  It was a wild month.

Here are October's goals:

1.  Put the freaking camping stuff away.

2.  Finish Walter's jacket and his hat.

3.  Don't buy yarn.  Seriously.  I don't knit that fast, really.

4.  Sharpen the reed knife and keep practicing.

Hey, I finished three things!  I did buy yarn, though, but Walter wants me to knit him grey socks.  And then we saw the glow-in-the-dark chenille yarn.  But other than that, nada!  And my total yardage went down (by not a lot, haha).  Please, no one talk about the camping stuff.  I just added it to my phone, so there's hope for November.

Here are November's goals:

1.  Y'know that camping stuff still in my car?  I'm going to put it away.

2.  While I'd love to make a goal to finish the cowl, I'm not going to risk hurting my wrist too much before the Christmas concerts.  My goal instead is to get to the third ball needed for the cowl (there are four balls).

3.  Don't.  Buy.  Yarn.

4.  Maybe I should add 'sharpen reed knife' to my phone, too.  Okay, it's in there.  That's the goal.
