November is a great month for knitting. All my mojo comes back after a year lamenting my inability to get a project across the finish line. Part of this is definitely attributable to the darkness – currently in SE Michigan, the sun is setting around 5pm which is a far cry from our long days of summer, when it will stay light until after 9pm. I relish the joy of evening knitting and the coziness of spending grey weekend afternoons with vlogs or audiobooks and my WIPs.

My pressing projects for the month were my contributions to the excellent Mittens for Detroit initiative. Last year, I finished one pair, and this year, thanks to better planning, I finished three.
