Finished!
I finished the blanket I was making for Lucas the other night. I don’t even remember how many times I had to rip out stiches and start over. It was the first time crocheting from a grid pattern. I have to say, I much prefer having all the directions spelled out for me, instead of having to go through and count little boxes and figure everything out on my own. But it turned out quite well in the end.
I have a baby shower coming up soon for my cousin’s wife and I think I might try and make it again, in different colors. I also want to tweak the pattern a little bit. I think I can improve some things. Boy, that sounds full of myself, doesn’t it? I was able to finish Lucas’ blanket in less than a month, but now that school is starting up again, I don’t know if I’ll have a lot of time to devote to making another blanket. This one is actually not that hard, it’s all half-double-crochet stitches. I guess I’ll have to wait and see what the workload is going to be like for this semester.
