One last post before we join the squares together
As you may have read in my last post, things keep getting in the way of finishing the Nine Square Blanket. Please excuse a bit of complaining in this post... First, I ran out of the right colors and had to wait on my shipment of yarn. Then, there was a death in my pet family, and I just couldn't concentrate on work for a few days. Now that I'm back at it, the weather has been acting up and a scattering of thunderstorms keeps taking away the light I need to take my photos, along with my electricity. While I'm still working through the final assembly of the squares, I'll share with you what I have ready so far.
Again, and as always, remember that the pattern for the Nine Square Blanket is not my design. It's provided for free by Yarnspirations for the World's Biggest Stocking project! We can all be a part of setting a world record, while crocheting (or knitting!) blankets that will be donated to military charities.
Let's get started!
On a side note, perhaps I should take a moment to thank my power company. Seriously, thanks to the workers that come out in rain and lightning to fix the problem. And "thanks" to the company that sends them out in dangerous conditions to repeatedly repair the splice in the line down the road... The splice that's been there for the last eight years... The splice that's the reason why the power goes out every time the wind blows... Yeah. Thanks for sending those people out in terrible weather to always fix that problem that you could probably fix the right way during fair weather, so we wouldn't have this problem anymore. Worrying about installing digital meters was soooooo much more important than that...
Anyway...
Ugh. I don't mean to sound like I'm whining, but why are these projects fighting me? I want to make these blankets for an awesome and good cause, but it's getting stressful, fighting yarn trolls and dying cats and thunderstorms, and me messing up all the time! I need a vacation in a mythical land where bad weather, unruly dogs (he ate part of my wall again), and Walmart stores don't exist!
We had four inches of rain in under an hour last night.
So much for living in the "Sunshine State"...
With all that complaining, perhaps I should say that I'm thankful to still have a roof over my head, if not dry land underfoot. There's others out there facing much worse than this.
Happy Crocheting!
