OK, confession time................
First let me qualify, I have once again promised knitted items to be done on a deadline. I am donating two afghans that have to be completed by the second week in March. That means I have 33 days to get them both finished.
I am giving up on using knitting needles to finish the afghan blocks. I broke out my knitting machine. Is that cheating? I am still cross stitching the pictures on and joining the blocks by hand. I came to this decision yesterday when I spent 2.5 hours working on one of the 120 sts blocks and only got about 1.5 to 2 inches done. On the first blanket. So after I check gauge to make sure they are the same, I may actually have the bottom strip of the blanket done if I am able to use the first block that I knit. Soooo, if I work on it diligently, I may actually complete at least one if not both by the deadline.
These are going to support local law enforcement so it's for a good cause and it is still going to take lots and lots of hours. (Only now it won't take months and months too.)
