I haven't really had time to craft lately, but my friend's recent baby shower gave me an excuse to jump back in with both feet. On Tuesday I decided to start a baby blanket to give her at her surprise baby shower...on Saturday. It might have been OK except that, once again, I made it bigger than I really intended. This meant I got foiled on two fronts; first, it took longer to make it of course, and second I ended up having to buy more yarn to finish the project instead of just using up what I had in my stash like I intended. The green stripes are narrower than the others because I had less of that yarn so I was trying to stretch it out--ended up having to buy two more skeins of the stuff anyway. Oh well, at least it still ended up coming out pretty cute, IMHO.
So did I finish in time? Wellllll...sort of. I ended up finishing it in the car while she opened her other presents. Hahaha!

Talk about last minute finish! That's great that you were able to complete it but nuts that you started that project on Tuesday with only a few days to complete it. It's not like you're still unemployed, you know. ;)
"It's not like you're still unemployed, you know."
You know, I really think I may have been in denial about that when I started :)
