My daughter called me to say she had taken on a contract to crochet a king sized afghan, and was afraid she wouldn't get it done. In one of my rare ventures in good mom-hood (or else temporary insanity), I told her I'd subcontract it.
Well . . . I started with a yarn I had a lot too much of, got one panel done, and realized that crocheting the darn thing would render me without the use of my right hand in very short order. So I switched to knitting. And realized that I would probably knitting this darned thing until well after I retired. So away went the yarn I had much too much of, and out came the Lion Brand Thick and Quick. And at that, I've been working on the thing since November 2008. Finally, two weeks ago, it is finished! And now the guy that commissioned it has decided that maybe he doesn't want it! So I'm out the cost of the yarn, and in possession of a custom made King Sized Afghan (and I sleep in a twin bed).
There is some kind of message in this, but I'll be darned if I know what it is.
