Story

In November, I am combining 2 charity challenges:-

knit every day for Dementia UK (November knitting challenge)

perform 5000 squats for the Motor Neuron Disease Association (5000 squats challenge)

As I need to knit for half an hour each day, and perform ~200 squats each day, I intend to combine them into what I am calling

Julie's November Knit - Squat Challenge

Each day I shall be completing at least 200 knit-squats (200 squats whilst knitting 200 stiches) before completing my half an hour daily knitting target. I'm also going to push myself on the odd day to knit squat for the whole 30 minutes, but lets see how that goes.

In these half hour knitting sessions, I shall be producing Xmas Gonks (as per the photo but with whatever yarn I have). I'll be gifting these at random to donors (I'm thinking I'll have time to complete 3...)

Anyway, please give generously to these 2 great charities, supporting the fight against these horrific diseases.

10 days in, I've reached the 2500, half way mark, have completed 1 gonk and am getting used to the leg burn!
