Long time...no post

I just realized that I have been HORRIBLY slacking in the blog department. I started spending all the free time I had working on blankets and projects. I haven't had the time to take pictures of all of them yet, but I did get one done and it is worthy of an entry all on it's own.

When I first started crocheting I spent a lot of time thinking of something to make for James. He had picked out colors for a blanket a while ago, but then that blanket was going to be WAY too time consuming for me to ever do. So I put the idea of his blanket on hold until I found something that I thought that he would like.

Well, that was 4 years ago and he started saying something about not having a blanket. So I decided that I needed to find a pattern for him and make him a blanket for his birthday. I took him out shopping for yarn, and it was a 3 color blanket. I worked and worked and worked to get it done. I actually got it done on time, which made me happy. I was a little worried about getting it done because I had to add on another 12-14 inches to make it long enough for him.

So here is his blanket...all 6 feet of it.

James, happy with his blanket.

He really liked it and uses it almost everynight. I finally accomplished my goal, making a blanket for James.
