Where in the world has this year gone????? There's only two months of 2018 left. So, let's look to see what November's GGKCRAFTYPAD has in store. This month our theme is being thankful. You'll notice that several of the days have the same prompt, thankful. We're encouraging you to share with us several things you're thankful for over the course of the month. Here's the prompts list for November 2018 Geeky Girls Knit Crafty Photo A Day Challenge.
--------------------------------------
What does ______ mean? WIP = Work In Progress #WIDN = What I'm Doing Now FO = Finished Object
So, how can you participate???? Well, there are actually several ways: INSTAGRAM - Instagram is the primary arena for participating in this challenge. Simply take your photo, add a caption to it, tag it with the hashtag #GGKCraftyPAD and share it. By adding the hashtag #GGKCraftyPAD , others who are participating will be able to see the pictures that have been shared for the daily prompts. C.C. is on Instagram as cc_almon & Dami is on Instagram as damisdoodles so make sure to follow them if you haven't already.

~Bookmark this post in your web browser and come back daily for the next prompt.

~Follow us on Instagram as cc_almon, on Instagram as damisdoodles and/or on Twitter as cc_almon and on Twitter as damisdoodles as we'll be posting the prompt for that day at some point during the day.
Most of all, we just want to encourage you to be creative. We hope this is as fun for yall as it is for us!!! Can't wait to see your photos!

Ask the Geeky Girls - Maryann (knitcentral) from Massachusetts asks:
Hi C.C.! You mentioned in your latest episode you made a smaller preemie hat than usual because you didn’t have enough yarn otherwise. I was wondering, in general, how you decide which size hat to make. Great job making one every week!
