The Ginormous Baby Blanket is Finally Finished April 18, 2008

The “never ending blanket project” is finally done. It has been TWO years in the making, and this morning, I finished it. When I was pregnant with Hannah, my sister Jenn thought I should make her baby blanket. You know, something to do with my time as I lazily hung out on the patio, watching the ships go by. She sent all the yarn and crochet needles to me on Saba. There was only one teeny tiny small detail that I had to figure out on my own . . . I need to learn how to crochet. Thankfully, there was wife of a student that knew, and after a ten minute lesson, I was on my own.

This is the first and only blanket I have crocheted. Measuring at 6′ X 5′, I made it is entirely too large for a baby, so it’s now a little kid blanket. Hannah still needs to “grow into it.”

I would like to point out that it didn’t take an entire two years to complete this thing. You see, I kind of forgot about it. Since it was far from being done when Hannah was born, it was put in the back of a closet . . . lost in the black abyss. I rediscovered it in January when I was cleaning out my house and decided to finish it before leaving Saba.

I have to thank the writers guild for ENDING THE STUPID STRIKE, and American Idol, because if there was nothing on TV from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, I would never turn on the TV, and this blanket would still be unfinished. If I didn’t have something to entertain me while I crocheted and my husband studied, well, I would be BORED TO SLEEP. And really, I can fall asleep very easily, anytime, anywhere, during any hour in the evening.
