... is that they take so long to make!
Over the past year I've been working on a grannysquare blanket. Not all the time, mind, just on and off. Sometimes I'd work on it for a few days, then I'd put it aside for a couple of weeks, and so on. Still, you'd think that I'd have enough squares for a decent-sized blanket my now, right? RIGHT?
Yes, so did I. And in the bag it looked like I had LOTS AND LOTS of squares, well enough for a blankie.
So I laid it all out on the floor - or rather, I tried to, while the Tickster was determined to thwart my efforts by taking it all apart again.
The thing looks tiny!
I'm so disheartened! Honestly, I think I'll need about the same amount again to get a decent size. It's not that it isn't fun to crochet the squares, and it's a good portable project too, but we are talking another 60 squares or so. Ugh!
Maybe it wants to be a little lap blanket instead...
OH MY! It makes me think of my Epic CounterPain - I've been working on that thing for FOUR YEARS. At least crochet goes faster than knitting.
ReplyDeleteIt still looks very impressive!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking great!
ReplyDeleteI started to make one of those once but I didn't weave in the ends as I went. That was a huge pain and I never did finish it.
I have faith that you will get this done :)
