Must Get Knitting...

I have 3 weeks and 1 (maybe 2) days to finish the blanket I'm working on for my nephew (the shower is Aug 13 but I have to fly there).  I'm a little over 1/2 way done and have been working on it every night. 

It's just detailed and repetitive and isn't holding my attention as well as I'd hoped.

*sigh*  Hopefully my motivation will show up tonight and this weekend...

Re: Must Get Knitting...

  • Can you knit in front of the tv?  I find that popping in a movie usually helps with long, slogging projects.

  • You've got plenty of time to get it done!  After those stockings, I believe you can get through any project :)

    Just don't be like me that one time, finishing a crochet baby blanket in the back seat of the car while on the way to the shower.  And then skipping out on watching the rest of the presents being opened so that I could do the final touches and wrap it Stick out tongue

    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

    Haha!  1) I'm glad you have so much faith in my skills.  I will certainly try.  2) I hope I dont' have to finish it on the plane and/or BART on the way out there...

    Yes.  My brother/SIL live in San Fran.  We went out at the end of June for family vacation, and my mom and I are heading back for the shower in a few weeks :)

    Awesome.  I lived in the Bay Area for six years and try to go back often to visit friends.  It's my second home :)

    Maybe I will get the camera out tonight.  I'm seriously the WORST about taking pictures of my projects (ask anyone...)  I finished a knit skirt like 6 weeks ago and even wore it in San Fran in June and haven't taken a picture of it yet Embarrassed

  • The current baby blanket that I'm working is for a kid who already 6 mo old...oops! Embarrassed

    I'm a little last minute - I once finished a crochet afghan for a wedding gift during the gap between the wedding and the reception - not to mention the 10 hour drive there.
