30 Day Knitting Challenge All Together Now

Having completed the 30 Day Knitting Challenge, I thought it might be handy to have all the questions in one place and link them to my answers. As a tech writer, back in the day one of my favorite things to do was create an index for a document – this definitely hits that button. All in all, this was fun to do; I got to reflect on all things knitting-related and I’ve written every day since starting the challenge on September 5. I hope it’s been fun to read, too. I plan to continue writing and posting regularly, I even have some tentative themes set up. If you, dear readers, have something you’d like me to write about or have found another interesting blog challenge, please let me know!
