So there I was working night shift, learning this new granny square, crocheting around and around, and I decided it was so soft and warm that I would find some complimenting yarn and make it into a blanket to match our couch.
This was over 2 years ago!
I made excellent progress until it was too big to bring to work, then it sat at home on the back burner while I worked on other projects, and I would pick it up occassionally to work on it. I got way more done during the winter, when it could keep my legs warm while I crocheted.
I wanted it to be big enough to share, so, I kept working, kept buying yarn, and kept crocheting.
Finally, I had reached the home stretch and decided it was a good size and to make just 1 more row and a border, well that was 2 months ago.
20 hours in the car, round trip back and forth to visit family in Oklahoma, provided just the opportunity I needed to push myself to finish it.
And it was nice to have an extra blanket along!
I finished as we cruised into Pueblo on the way home, since I took many naps and breaks of course, and by the time we got home all I had to do was throw it in to wash and dry and throw it on the couch. (I love machine washable yarn!!!!!!)
The next day was a PERFECT snuggle under a blanket day, so I enjoyed it and a movie while my daughter napped.
To date, this is my greatest crocheting accomplishment, and I am so excited to have it complete!
My husband loves it too :]
