Last week I joined 3in30. It started the first week of the month. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get anything accomplished, coming in so late, but I have!
My goals:
Clean out my workout drawer, and finish the master bath closet.
- So far, I have the workout drawer organized, as well as the rest of my television stand.
This includes more workout gear
and game accessories.
Memorize 1 Corinthians 1:22-25
I have recorded my Scripture on my iPhone to help memorize, but I am not there yet. I also have an index card, which would be better served if I pulled it out of my Bible…
Pick knitting back up. {Just learning.}
As for the knitting, I have switched directions. I picked up this nifty number, a Knook, which combines my favorite parts of both knitting and crochet.
Why I love it- I am not great with crocheting. I never seem to know which spot to put the hook in, so I get frustrated and then I drop the whole project. With knitting, I struggle with keeping the yarn on the needle, and I get discouraged.
I do love the hook when I crochet, and I love that with knitting it is easy to see what to do next. The Knook combines the two positives, with the hook and the string that acts as the second needle. I get the look of knitting with the ease of crotchet. Win!
Are you making goals as well? I ‘d love it if you would share them!

You accomplished so much this month! Congratulations! I had never heard of a Knook before. I enjoy crocheting, but never had any luck with knitting. I’ll have to look into that.

I am really liking it, doing it as often as I have a free minute!

That knook looks really cool! I might have to give that a try if I ever have time to sit and crochet again!

Wow – I never heard of combining knitting and crocheting! I love knitting, but can NOT figure how crochet. I would love to, since there is a hat Bella is fast outgrowing that I want to duplicate, but it needs to be done with crochet. Sigh.
Love the workout gear :)

The funny thing-I could see it on my phone, but not from my laptop!! I have been horrible about visiting any blogs since I had started working…not enough hours in a day!

Wow, Sam, what a great idea! Maybe someday, I’ll try knitting that way. Great goals for the month. Congrats on the progress you made, too, especially coming in late! Good for you.

You are doing wonderful! I am doing well but still have a bit to do before my writing project is complete. The crochet looks fun. I used to do that but writing now takes most my free time:) I am also working on exercise this month to stay active. Good job Sam!

You’re doing great! My grandma has tried several times over the years to teach me to crochet and I just couldn’t get it.
Goals? Right now it’s just to keep track of everything I’m doing.
