Sorry its been so long!

Hey, long time no post. Seems like I'm just getting the hang of this bloggin' stuff. Busy with school during the weekdays(and some weekends) and knitting on weekends. I am proud to say I finished a blanket! Crocheted it with just SC's(my favorite stitch because its the only one I can do...) a cute bubblegum pink and cream striped blanket. Happy to say that I will be donating hats and blanket to the hospital on Friday. Oh it feels so good to look at that box filling up. Nice. There is probably someone out there who will want to lecture me(besides my Mom) about crocheting for hours on end, I do mean HOURS. My wrists hurt and my fingers cramp up but its addictive. So I stayed up until 11:00 on Friday and Saturday nights to finish that blanket. Amazingly it only took about three days to complete due to crocheting from sun up to sun down, but it got done. It is my first blanket and I have had some confusion about if I should donate it or not, I mean its my first blanket but if I were to make a blanket for me, it would not use baby yarn. I am not a baby, I am a nearly grown woman. I think I should donate it because its just nice to do and its too small for me although it does cover from my feet to my waist, I'm 5'3. When I get older, and have artheritis in my wrists and hands, I suprisingly would not trade it for anything. I wouldn't trade it because I am doing something that maybe a baby will like someday. I look at a baby blanket that my grandma gave me years ago and I love it. I hope that these babies will look up at the top shelf of their closets some day and see a hat or a blanket I made them. I may not know who these babies are but they're just like me when I was their age, little babies who are sick or who just came out early.
