I started my first official block for the sampler afghan-a-long last Sunday…with the goal of having it done by today – since the idea is to do one block a week. Considering that as of yesterday I’d only gotten the bottom border and the first 8 pattern rows done, I did managed to get quite a bit finished: I only have 6 more complicated rows left (out of 64)…but I’m too tired to try to remember the difference between a 1/1 LPC and a 1/1 LC, and I’ve made (and fixed) too many mistakes at this point. I think it’s time for sleep.
However, I did get a lot of Christmas knitting (and shopping!) done this weekend, which is really more important now, right?
I’m thinking this block a week goal might just be a little lofty. Wasn’t bad on my first 2 blocks, but this 3rd block is taking me a really long time to get thru (all those cables!) Christmas knitting and shopping always come first! Do you think we should change our goal?
