It's raining in February

I've been working like crazy on my afghan! Here's an updated picture on how it's going.



Essentially I have to make 64 individual squares (called granny squares) and then stitch them all together to make a queen size bed blanket. Each square is about 9 by 9 inches and takes just under 1.5 hours. I've made 20 as of tonight, and I'm very proud of how fast I've been getting this thing done. Hopefully it won't take another 5 years like my last one!

It's a lot of fun, and I find it really soothing and relaxing to do when I get home from work. Probably because it's repetitive and you don't have to think to do it. It's quite therapeutic.

My goal is to be finished it by the end of March.
