As I mentioned before, I’m not great at finishing crochet projects. I started and abandoned three or four baby blankets while I was pregnant with Evie. So when I was pregnant with Mira, I wanted to start a blanket for her, but felt I should make one for Evie first. I picked out this pattern and plowed through it pretty quickly. But when I laid it out, I wanted it to be a lot bigger. When I realized I needed at least twice as many as I had already made, I was so discouraged that I had to put it away.
Fast forward to months after Mira’s born and I finally decided to resurrect this project and finish it. I’m making every square different, so I have to keep checking to make sure I’m not repeating a color combination. I started working on the squares during nap time and they are going pretty quickly. Hopefully I can finish them pretty quickly and get through the dreaded task of laying out the order of the squares, attaching them all, and weaving in the ends. We’ll see if I can keep motivated long enough to finish it, or if I’m going to stash it away for a few more months. At this rate Mira might not get her own blanket until she’s in college.
