Stash Wars

Have you ever had this nagging feeling that, while you are busy keeping up on your chores, everyone else is out and about having the time of their life? I get this feeling whenever I look at my ravelry project page lately. Other people’s project pages are full of exotic and adventerous projects, and here I am, slaving away at my blue bedspread of boundless boredom.

Which of course is entirely my own fault.  It’s not like anyone forced me to start this project. I, and I alone decided to transform 110 balls of this

into 39 installments of this

- plus 6 half blocks, plus fringe, never mention sewing the whole thing together - just because I got it into my head that what I need most in my life right now is a crocheted bedspread. For a double bed. Handmade by yours truly. From a vintage pattern. What on earth was I thinking?

I started the first block on January 5th, and right now I’m working on block No 3. At this pace the bedspread will be finished in summer 2014. But only if I don’t die of boredom in the meantime.

Perhaps I should start a new project. You know, a really small one. Just to take the edge off.
