Don’t Give Up!
It has been a frustrating week for me. I ran out of yarn before finishing up a project. As a result, it is really bugging me. I need to figure out a way around this problem. Since I only need about three feet of yarn to finish this project, I don’t want to buy a whole new skein of yarn. So, rather than add to my stash, I put this project aside and moved on to another one.
Keep Going!
On a positive note, I am DONE with Noelle’s blanket. If you read my last post, you know that I originally made this blanket for Noelle’s baby. You also know that I started another one almost immediately but put it aside because I didn’t feel it was quite as pretty as the first. And finally, you know that Noelle’s baby is now four-years-old. Allow me to do the math for you: this blanket has been sitting around, mocking me, for several years.
But now I am done with it! Even better, I have written a pattern for it because it’s really a cute blanket. It is off with my pattern tester as I type. To me, the pattern feels a bit complicated. I want to make sure it’s easy and fun to make–not frustrating.
Look at the playful circle-in-the-square motifs. Colorful, just like toy blocks!
Soft and cuddly; bright and bold. What more could you ask for?
It feels so good to finally complete this project!
Keep using your stash! Don’t give up! Keep going!
Talk to you later,
