My Sister's Afghan is Done!!
Jan. 22nd, 2010 11:50 amOK, some of you may know that I crochet. I crochet very slowly. O_O I also knit, but I do that even more slowly. O_o;;; See... I have the same problem with crocheting that I do with writing fanfiction. When a project is new and shiny I'm very excited about it and work like mad on it for maybe a few weeks. Then... I get used to the pattern (or fandom) and it's no longer new and shiny. Then I get bored. Then I find excuses not to work on it. Then a new shiny pattern (or fandom) distracts me and the process starts all over again. O_O That's what happened with this afghan. I have at least 6 or 7 started crochet projects... and only three finished ones: A baby blanket I made for my niece (which almost doesn't count because it was a much smaller blanket than what I usually do), an afghan I made for my friend Jenny... and now this one. To give you an idea? I started this afghan in the summer of 2004. @_@;;; Yes, you heard that right. Anyway, as of last night, it's done. Now I just have to wash it to get all the kitty fur off it, then block it out and I can give it to my sister. *cheers*
Then I can get to work on one of the other seven projects I haven't finished. O_O Tina... I think yours is next. ^_^
And if you want to see more pictures of the afghan, including close-ups... go here. ^_^
