I finally finished it. I’ve been crocheting this blanket for months. I bought the yarn online and when I opened the box, the green fleck yarn was flecked with red and yellow and the green was a Christmasy green instead of a dark sage. It wasn’t at all what I imagined, but I started the blanket anyway. I eventually got used to the color because I was crocheting with it, but a couple of weeks ago, a friend asked what I was working on.

She thought it was a Christmas project.

Yeah, that reminded me of the day I opened to the box, slightly disappointed. Now, I have a huge Christmas blanket instead of a camping afghan like I wanted. Fortunately for me, Wild Oats is collecting blankets and afghans for the homeless. I can donate this blanket, feel good about myself and start crocheting a new camping blanket.

That’s the last time I buy yarn online…
