I have absolutely no ideas this year, and I expect work is going to be more stressful that usual, due to an unanticipated absence on the team. But after five years, it's just what I do in November.The October weather is certainly cooperating for indoor activities like writing - and knitting. It has been blustery, and today was rainy off and on.
I started the month with the intention of getting some knitting projects finished before it was time to write. Instead, I have been starting projects. The Knit Wits went to Iowa City, and I started a new project in the car on the way back. I've started not just one, but two, lace projects, and I've made two baby hats.
Just winding this ball of yarn was a project, requiring me, T, and some borrowed equipment.
It doesn't look so dramatic here, but this is a pound of yarn - enough for a sweater. It's about five inches tall and seven inches across, and it is destined to be a shawl. The only reason I haven't cast on yet is that I need to photocopy the pattern first, so I can scribble on it at will.Most of the photos I have taken with the cell phone recently were blurry, but this one was good. And it makes me laugh.

"But after five years, it's just what I do in November."
This is the best reason for doing NaNoWriMo that I've heard so far.
Of course, it only applies to NaNoVets. :P
