So, let's have a look at my 2014 goals progress:
~Keep a daily journal.
Continuing to stay strong with this goal and in fact, I'm converting others to the Bullet Journal system I'm using. If you haven't checked the system out, you definitely should! I'm trying a little bit different layout for October and thus far, I'm liking how it's going.
~Continue keeping a list of the eucharisteo/gifts/joys/Thanksgivings in my life.
I'm doing this in my daily journal. I'm over 3,700.

Finished Projects
2014 Top Down Preemie Hat #24, 2014 Top Down Preemie Hat #25, 2014 Top Down Preemie Hat #26, + 2014 Top Down Preemie Hat #27 ~ From my own free pattern Top Down Preemie Hat. Knit on US6 (4mm) needles with various yarns + colourways (you can go to the page for each hat to see the details). Our knitting group, the Town Mouse Knitting Club, knit hats earlier in the year to donate and I decided to continue making 1 per week to donate later.
Round, Round, Get Around Shawl - DK Version ~ From my brand new pattern, Round, Round, Get Around Shawl. Knit on US7 (4.5mm) needles with Brigantia Luxury Yarn Double Knit in the 8874 + 8936 colourways.
Round, Round, Get Around Shawl - 4-Ply Version ~ From my brand new pattern, Round, Round, Get Around Shawl. Knit on US4 (3.5mm) needles with Ginger's Hand Dyed Splendor 4ply in the Barapapa + Hot Fuzz colourways.
#KiltMeNowKAL Socks ~ From my vanilla sock recipe with the Fish Lips Kiss Heel. Knit on US1.5 (2.5mm) needles with Ginger's Hand Dyed Sheepish Sock in the Je Suis Prest colourway. These socks are part of the #CountdowntoOutlander + #KiltMeNowKAL that I'm co-hosting with some other podcasters as part of the first season of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander book series. I asked Jess of Ginger Twist Studio to create a special Outlander colourway for me and now she can't keep it in stock because it's selling out so quickly. I adore the stripes, which were an unexpected surprise!
