It Is Drawing Near

The end of this project that is.

The Official Sock Yarn Blankie Square Count for May 25, 2010:

Squares Needed: 736


Squares Knit and Stitched Together: 676

Remaining Squares Needed: 60


It's hard to believe. All the decisions I said I would make once I finished will soon be upon me. Again, it's hard to believe.

Recently, I finished my last swap. When I posted this fact on the swapping forum, there was a few people who weren't happy to hear the news. One even suggested I start a new mitered square project just so I could keep swapping. I was flattered, but I believe once blankie has grown to its final size I will take a rest (most likely using blankie to keep warm). I need to regain my strength as I still have my mom's blanket to finish.

The other day I was taking a look at it. It's funny how small it is. I hope I will have the stamina to finish mom's after having run the marathon to create my blankie.

I've also been thinking about what other "big" project will be next. Maybe a blanket for my Auntie. She's made me numerous blankets throughout the years. I would love to do something special like that for her - especially since she was the one who originally taught me how to knit.

It's odd to be thinking about something other than making blankie. I feel as though I'm cheating on blankie.

Phew . . . All these thoughts and feeling are making me exhausted. I think it's time to pack it in for tonight.


Until later . . .
