Finisher!

When my husband and I crossed the finish line of the Honolulu Marathon in 2004 they gave us each a medal that says "Finisher".  It is a wonderful reminder that we completed something.  Finishing something is a great feeling.  In my last blog post I talked about the frustration of feeling like I never finish things.  Well that's a bit of an overstatement because I do finish things...  I was referring mostly to my projects (craft projects).  So this year I resolve to finish projects!

And on that note... behold a finished blanket!  This is a blanket that is part of a set I gave to friend who became a grandmother again to two twin boys.  The other blanket is the same design except the brown stripes are blue stripes.  I really enjoyed making these blankets because 1. they were for a dear friend; 2. they were easy, just knit and purl;  3. they are relatively small (only 24"X28") and 4.  I used Vanna's Choice yarn (delectable) and it only required 4 skeins.  I came up with my own design and knit away.  It's a great "pick up and go" project and doesn't require intense concentration.


There are a lot of areas of my life I resolve to improve this year, but I'm starting with finishing.
