Well, I started this project a long, long time ago..I’m fact, almost 15 years ago. I still remember picking out the yarn at Hobby Lobby and was excited about the project. Looking back, I wished I would have picked up 2 skeins of each color but at the time, I could only afford 1 of each. I mean there are 13 colors and even it the yarn was on sale, that's still a lot of money at one time. Of course, I thought I would be able to go back and get more when I needed it, but life took a turn.
Unlike my old Flower Power Blanket, I know why I stopped working on it. First, after Thatcher died, it was a long time that I could even pick up a crochet hook and this was my first project I started on about 5 1/2 years after he died. I worked on it a couple of months, then my dad got sick and about 4 months later, he died and once again, I just wasn’t in a place where I could crochet.
I was really down and didn't really know how to move forward and was not interested and about 22 months later, I was in a horrible car accident, then my brother died 2 days later. I couldn’t have crocheted with my broken body if I wanted to and my broken heart made it even harder.
When years passed & I finally started thinking about crochet again, so much time had passed that I discovered the yarn I was using for this project had been discontinued and I didn’t think I had enough to finish it, so I hesitated getting back to it.
Honestly, I still don’t think I have enough yarn, but I’m in the year of “completion” so I am going to try and hope if I do run out, I can find some kind of close colors in another brand.
Anyway, wish me luck…Here’s where I’m restarting:
I'm about 40% finished.
