Those close to me know that I retired from my job to help my daughter and her family re-locate back to her hometown. I am now babysitting most week days and it is a thrill to be part of my grand-children's lives. That said, I am also EXHAUSTED and most days "way behind the 8 ball" as they say. As a result, the ghost of PROCRASTINATION has sneaked back in and haunts me day and night. I can't say I haven't been working on my projects I have. I just haven't gotten around to posting my progress.
ALAS, I try again. On the hook this day is a baby blanket that I began probably 15 to 20 years ago.
I left it because either:
1. I didn't buy enough yarn to begin with.
2. I used some of it for something else, (Probably didn't finish that either)
3. Lost it.
The yarn is a variegated pastel that I bought with a newborn in mind; I just can't tell you which one.
Then "Low and Behold" a few weeks ago while perusing my favorite second hand store what do think I found?
Not 1, not 2, but 3 skeins of the much needed yarn to finish my project.
The pattern is a simple shell stitch so it should work up quickly. With no babies on the way (that I know of anyway) this blanket will be sent to one of the many deserving organizations that need it.
Spring Has Finally Sprung!
Enjoy!
