I'm doing 42 things
I started with worsted weight yarn & #6 DPNs, have now moved onto actual sock weight yarn & #2 & #3s! I want to try on circs next, but for right now, I just love my new skill :)

How I did it
It made me
proud 
How I did it: In some ways, I've been working on this for 8 years, since I was in PT school. I really started studying last summer after I sent in my application $$, and studied seriously about 20 hours/week for 4 months. I also have to give a lot of the credit to my patients and mentors because they taught me so much clinically. Read how I did it…
It made me
excited
How I did it: I wrote my payoff check today, yippee! It took me 8 years after grad school. I made sure that I made some payment every month and stuck to it and now my student loans are done! Read how I did it…
It made me
Thankful
How I did it: Every night when I go to bed, I write down 1-4 things about my day that made me happy or thankful for what I have. Some days, they are people or big things; other days, it's something as simple as "coffee." Read how I did it…
