Some people run them..I'm crocheting mine! Yep, that's my 30th year of life goal...to finish one large afghan before my 30th birthday (10.10.10). Think I can make it?
I've kicked my production into high gear these past few weeks and lowered my goal to 63 total squares from the original 70. And guess how many I have finished? 40! (plus a few in progress)
Wesley has been helping a bit...if you can call throwing them around the room and dancing on them help. AND Jeff has even let me teach him some technique (he's a natural, btw).What big goals are you working on? Something fun and creative? Something hard and time-consuming? Best of luck...I hope you accomplish it, I feel confident I'm going to accomplish mine!
these squares are so gorgeous, jenny! i can't wait to see your blanket come together. and i'm so impressed that you have completed 40 squares already!! you will definitely have this project done by 10/10/10! i hope it will be on display when we celebrate your 30th!! thanks for sharing your progress; i just love seeing these fabulous granny squares you have been working on.

ReplyDeleteIt's gonna be great! I can't wait to see it all together. I love the colors you're using, and I'm quite impressed with your progress. If you ever need me to help you by throwing squares around and dancing on them, just let me know.
