Time Management
It’s amazing. This project sat here for Over Ten Years, but it took less than half-an-hour to do. I just fixed this blanket this morning:
I had made this blanket back when I was in college. Didn’t have my own car back then, so when visitors came for one of the guys on the hall, I was ‘like a kid in a candy-store’ when Russ’s parents took me to a supermarket. I’d buy anything. One of the things I bought was some Ugly mustard-colored acrylic yarn and a crochet-hook. Came back and made this blanket with all sorts of scrap yarns - trying to make it prettier than dark-mustard-yellow.
Well, some of the yarns were less than desireable - the blanket soon started to have holes in it.
Do you know the difference between a store-bought-sweater and a hand-made-one? The warmth of this blanket was Special. So I was going to fix it with better yarn - when I got up to it.
That was over ten years ago. Busy days - it never got passed my to do list. Until this morning. A friend could use some Special warmth.
So I sat in front of the tv. With some light-lime-colored yarn (that’s the best I had here), and crocheted the holes together. It only took a half-an-hour.
Nothing is a big deal. You just have to decide to do it.
