I did not sign up for Nerd Wars T9 but I just can't keep away so I will probably ninja some WIPs for the Flexible Schedule challenges and get something done at least.  Nerd Wars is a motivator.  This entire month of September had me doing very little crocheting or knitting even though I thought I would finish some socks,  Just meandered along and did a few rows at a time which for sock knitting looks like nothing.

OK,  I've checked out the ninja thread.  One of the competitors is a guy in Australia who designs men friendly items.  Score for Christmas presents for my sons and I will figure out how to scale it down for my grandson.   The pattern is Enchanted Cowl by David on Ravelry.
