Slow & steady...

This blanket is taking a LOT longer than I thought it would. I planned to have finished it by now. With only 4 weeks left of winter (YAY!!!), it's not looking like I will have it finished before the weather starts getting warm. Since I've started crocheting lots of other smaller projects (beanies, scarves etc) this blanket has kind of been put on the backburner apart from random bursts of motivation I get when I'm able to churn out a few squares.

So here is my progress so far (apart from a few more squares that I forgot to get out of my crochet bag before taking the pic)...
I'm not sure how big it will end up now. But I need to at least double the current size. I've never been good at finishing big projects so I need to keep plodding along with this for as long as it takes. Can you tell my enthusiasm for it has waned a little since I first started lol. I think it's mainly because I've found so many other things I want to get started and I've also been looking at lots of new wool and different colour combinations. I don't really like the colours I chose for this one anymore. So I'd better get back to it and finish it ASAP before it becomes yet another unfinished project...

I love it Jas...I love the colour combo too! I soooo understand what you mean about enthusiasm for a big project waning...I have a huge granny square (just one giant one) that I started back in 2006...it is still not finished...and I don't think I have looked at it for over a year LOL...keep it up, it will be gorgeous when it is done :)

The hats are super cute too, especially the ear flap one. I can see my Bella wanting one of those.
