As we continue sharing good habits in 2019, we want to remind you why it’s always a good time to pick up a creative habit.

Stitches knit in January of 2018 : 73,260 and counting…

and now I’ve started off 2019 by ALMOST finishing a sweater for Luc before realizing that the sleeves were two different circumferences. So, yesterday marks the first time that I’ve had to rip out most of a sweater to fix a counting error, but tomorrow I’ll push on and knit like crazy to get back on track.

Sarah wrote a post asking you to read with her more in 2018. I jumped on that train and shared the amazingly simple change I made that had me reading much more in 2018. I’m so happy that I kept up my bedtime reading habit, and I still love the change a year later!

At the beginning of the year, I encouraged our readers to “make with me“. In that post I shared a few of the many benefits that you may get from picking up a hobby, and I gave you a few simple suggestions for how to turn your hobby into a regular habit (that’s good for you!).

If you follow our Instagram feed or have been a long-time reader, it’s no surprise that my primary hobby is knitting. I always have a project (or ten) in the works. While I don’t need the encouragement to knit more, I’m taking this resolution as a nudge to share more of my projects, in their many phases, on the blog.
