The Many Months of September




Originally the seventh month in the oldest Roman calendar, September gained its name after the Latin for seven, "septem". Later, after the calendar was reformed, September became the ninth month, but retained its original name. Aside from moving places in the calendar, September also has several things to celebrate. For instance, let's look at the list below, courtesy of Nationaldaycalendar.com:


Alopecia Areata Awareness Month


Baby Safety Month


Fall Hat Month


Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15)


International Update Your Resume Month


Little League Month

National Neonatal Intensive Care Awareness Month


National Mushroom Month


National Potato Month


National Preparedness Month

So, which nifty celebration(s) to pick? Well, I thought the most crochet appropriate choices would be: Hispanic Heritage, Neonatal Intensive Care Awareness, Mushrooms, & Self-Care Awareness. Onwards to the roundup!
