My progress is likely not as fast as most crafters\/crochet-ers … BUT, I am happy with how things are going and more important: I am having BIG fun!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just finished joining the third skein of loop yarn in the blankie…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, about 1\/3 done … I think. And, I think 6 skeins will be perfect size-wise, which allows me to make a scarf from the 7th. This yarn is VERY soft and cozy, so think it will make a wonderful scarf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On to afghan squares. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I finished the first last weekend and am about 2\/3 of the way with the second. There is one more block with this part of the kit and then I wait for the second kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I am not the fastest crafter person. Based on the YouTube videos I’ve watched, many whip up the blankets in a day or 2. And I am sure long time crochet-ers would do the same with the blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT, we have walks and play and chores and baking and work, so … I am just very pleased that things are moving along and I am always happy when I can find 10-15-20 minutes to do a few rows of one or the other. I have also found that it is a pleasant activity to do for 15 minutes before bedtime … slows down the whirl of work and news. I do a bit, take Emmett out for out last short walk and then I am ready to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The craft projects are coming along!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, this is what the afghan is supposed to look like when complete:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
