\nI
\nmentioned <\/a>that this burst of blogging is somewhat inspired by the
\n(writer’s block busting) activity of NaNoWriMo.<\/a><\/p>\n

It turns out that I am hardly alone in this aspiration.  Someone
\nelse has coined the NaBloPoMo
\n<\/a>term for national blog posting month — blogging every day this
\nmonth.  That certainly captures the spirit of what I’ve been
\ntrying this month, although I am resisting any urge to sign up. 
\nStubborn individualism, I guess.<\/p>\n

There is also a NaKniSweMo<\/a>
\n— national sweater knitting month — focused on knitting a 50,000
\nstitch sweater (to match the 50,000 word novels of
\nNaNoWriMo).     I’m really not doing that — if
\nnothing else, because I don’t take sweater projects on travel. 
\nHowever, I did the math:  I figure my sock project is running at
\n10,000 stitches per sock.  I am about to finish my first November
\nsock (the second of a pair — expect pictures!).    I
\nmight put another 10,000 stitches out, depending on what happens with
\npersonal travel next week.  Nowhere near the 50,000 stitch mark.<\/p>\n

I guess, no matter whether you slice it in words ore stitches, 50k is a
\nlot.  Even for knitting, which is essentially OCD with a
\nproductive output.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
