Joining all my squares together went much quicker than I had expected! I used this join-as-you-go method. Now I just have to crochet my edging and it'll be finished! I'm planning to use this edging.I'm hoping by the end of next week it'll be all done!And in case you were wondering: No, I will not be giving this away. I've been asked several times who I'm giving this to, but I think the following

I have to admit, the more and more I thought about this challenge, the harder it seemed to be. How on earth was/am I going to give each and every day?!At first I was really stuck on who and what "qualified" for my giving to "count." And then it dawned on me that thinking like that was nothing more than playing a game, which this most certainly is not! So, I prayed for guidance and help.And I

I'm halfway done with the blanket!Not to be braggy, but I'm very pleased with my first attempt at crocheting.I'm using this join-as-you-go method to join all the squares and it is amazingly simple!The dreaded sewing in of the ends has turned out to be a nice break from the joining and hook. And I'm keeping all those little bits of yarn for some yet-to-be-determined craft to do with the kids.Just
