Long Term Projects
Jun. 2nd, 2025 06:09 pm
I love long term projects! And I am horrible at ever finishing them!! But I love having a project to work on between bigger projects. Something I can do when I want to craft but I don't want to think much about it. Something where I can "finish" something in a day and feel accomplished. Something that has the memories of the passing of time in it. I have a memory blanket I have been making on and off with leftovers since I first started knitting in 2019.
I especially love projects like granny square blankets where you can make a little or a lot at a time and then join it together at a later time. Makes for easy travel or a project to take and sit outside with. I am following along with this tutorial TL Yarn Crafts gives on their blog for making this granny square blanket out of mini skeins and scrap yarns. A few years back my wife used to buy me a subscription to Row One Yarn, where I would get ten 10g sample skeins a month. After about 5 or 6 months I have a decent backlog of them and we decided to end the subscription. This squares conveniently use ~10g of yarn each, so it is perfect for using up the samples I still have. I also have plenty of other leftovers to use as well.
The pattern recommends having 80 squares total, so I am about 1/8th of the way there! I started this project earlier this year, sometime in mid February, I have no idea how long it will take me to finish this project, but I am not in a rush to finish it either! :]
