I thought for a long time about how I was going to keep the 'stitches' the same size because for some reason I wasn't able to do it like I had so easily done before. I figured that I can knit very simply so at least with the needles I could keep it uniform and it should turn out well.
The above picture is the grand total of what I've accomplished with this blanket in a year. I had wanted it to be a Christmas present for him last year but it didn't work. So my hope is to have it completed for Christmas this year. I've only finished about 6 inches but when it is done it will be gigantic and maybe some day, when he is a grown man, he will still be able to use his blanket that I made for him when he was 3.
He'll probably make fun of it.

Pretty colors! Keep working on it.
Emily is still working on an afghan that was supposed to be a Christmas present for Ted in about 1981. It's bright red-orange. I actually worked on it for a couple of years about 15 years ago but now she has it again. The joke is that it will be ready for his funeral.
hopefully I won't be working on this blanket for 27 years, however the way things are going it just might be a present for him when he turns 30.
