Welcome September | 2025
September showed up right on schedule, and lasted a whole month.
— Jenny Wingfield
Hello September… right on time again!
I am old enough to remember when September was my least favorite month. Sad endings and beginnings… The end of summer reading and the beginning of school… sigh. It is almost comical how having children changes ones point of view… back to school might not such a bad thing after all! I am thankful to say that my children enjoyed the return to school… for the most part and we were a reading household… no one ever complained in my house if someone was reading!
I have come to love September for its incredible light… the days of long shadows are delightful. And though we have had a spate of crisp, chilly mornings… I know that there will be plenty of warm sunny days to be outdoors appreciating those long shadows!
I don’t have a long list of things I want to accomplish this month… or perhaps it is better described as a not very varied list because there is a good amount of knitting! I figured out the key twist to success for those first and last sheep… and I am so happy with the results (more on that tomorrow!) But here is my list:
- Knit two more sheep-y baby sweaters!
- Begin the last blanket (I am not foolish enough to imagine it will be knit this month!)
- Learn about Ladderback Jacquard knitting!
- Finish Heidi’s counted cross stitch!
And there you have my hopes for September! What about you… what do you hope September holds for you?
I will see you all back here tomorrow!
