Update: M's Blankie

I'm not done. Lol. I have been getting compliments and I love how it looks so far, but I'm not done. It'll be large enough for him to use until he's like 10, I believe, so I'm not rushing through it although I would love to be done and I'm sure his Mom would, too!

OAN: I got a skein each of red, white, and blue for my birthday today, so I'll be getting started on my patriotic afghan. Fun, fun, fun.

My photogs of the new blanket pattern suck beyond reason because my sexy BB has no flash. This is two days of work, off and on, so I'll have it finished in no time.

I concede...that means I give up

Having started a second, longer baby blanket for M, I am so thoroughly annoyed. Not by the blanket mind you, that's the fun part...I guess it's not even the pattern. It's actually easy-peasy once you get past the foundation chain. Somehow or another, I am either adding too many single crochets or miscounting where to put my 3 single crochets in the next single crochet (this is actually very easy) or I am just not supposed to make this ripple pattern blanket. So very annoying I tell you! With that being said, at this rate, M will be 5 years old before he gets this blanket so I'll stick with what I know and use the Project Linus pattern and the same colors. It'll still be awesome.

I told LaTasha within the last few months that I wanted to make a patriotic afghan or something; red, white, and blue; duh. A ripple pattern would be nice, so I'll just have to look for a new ripple pattern or something...IDK.

Yes, I should be done by now; however, I am not. I was really loving how it was shaping up even though I had to take some rows out because I was messing up and then I started realizing that the blanket didn't appear to be long enough. UGH! After discussing it with my mother, we decided it needed to be longer so I must take out what I've already done and start over. The only thing I hate about blankets, even little baby ones, is that the foundation chain has to be a certain number of chains especially when you're using a pattern that is very specific and is supposed to look a certain away.

I'll get it done in no time though because I have a lot of time on my hands again. LOL.
