Knitting,Reading, and Blogmas This Year!

Hello Friends,

I hope you are doing well. I have made quite a bit of progress on the scarf that I knit with the Juniper Moon Farms yarn. I have been enjoying working with this light, soft yarn and I like the self striping that is appearing in the scarf as I knit on. I am looking forward to wearing this scarf this winter. It is a skinnier scarf as I knit on I realized this more, but I think I will like it because I have a lot of bulkier scarfs and knitted items so it will be something lighter for days that aren't too cold.

I have really been enjoying reading Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis. It is a fun and inspirational read. I find it interesting that she got her start from a blog and started a media company. I am almost finished this book, it is a real page-turner for me. I took the photo below last Saturday morning. It is a favorite routine of mine on the weekend to make a coffee, then sit down for an hour or more and read, then knit and plan for the day. I like to write goals down in the notebook and love the cover that says:"Do more of what makes you awesome". This inspires me to think about what I could do to improve myself and work on my goals each day.

Also I would like to announce that ...

I will be taking part in Blogmas this year! 

I am very excited to join other bloggers in sharing a blog post daily from December 1st until Christmas Day. Christmas is my favorite time of the year and I look forward to sharing more posts talking about what I am doing during the Christmas season. I will be starting some Christmas knitting projects in December and will be posting entries on Christmas related topics and other topics that come to mind. I did not participate in Blogmas last year, but I did participate in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) last year which takes place in November. For NaBloPoMo, I joined along with other bloggers in posting everyday for the month of November. I really enjoyed coming up with new ideas for posts for the entire month and it challenged me to think of new ideas and things to share on my blog. You can read my posts from last year here. I also liked to see what other bloggers posted on their blogs and enjoyed the community we created in a short time. I like these blog posting events and look forward to December when Blogmas begins.

Blogmas is coming...who else is excited?

Joining along with Frontier Dreams for Crafting On and As Kat Knits for Unraveled Wednesday.

Thank you for visiting my blog and I am looking forward to starting to post entries for Blogmas on Saturday. Hope you have a great rest of your week!
