Ye Ol Project

Much thanks to everyone who complimented me on my Log Cabin! I do love it, although I wish I had enough patience to have made it a bed size blanket.

In keeping with the theme of finishing some of my many WsIP (especially the large ones), I have another FO to present! This one did not take much recent work at all - all I did was pull the yarn through the loop, and weave in the ends.

This is my first (and largest) crochet project. Can we say I was just a tad too ambitious? According to my Ravelry, I started this in January of 2005, which was before I relearned how to knit. I'm fairly certain I did about 98% of the crocheting in 2005, which means it's pretty much been sitting around for the past 2+ years. I had originally intended to make this a bed-sized blanket also, but due to my recent lack of interest in crocheting and also my recent yarn snobbery, I decided to “finish” the project as a throw. I gave it to my mom, and she seems to like it, so I'm happy.

I'm leaving for Madrid on Tuesday, so I won't be posting again until I come back. I decided to take one of my pairs of socks, along with google maps of 2 yarn shops near my hotel, a highly recommended churreria, and several tapas bars. =)
