For some reason, when I make a gift for someone, I always make it a very difficult gift. I can never pick something that is easy and quick to do. For example, I just recieved three boxes today. One was my pasta machine! Yes! (Happy dance goes here) The other two were UPS boxes. I didn't remember ordering anything. They were marked Mary Maxim on the sides. Oh.... (feelings of dread go here.) My grandma asked me to crochet a blanket for my mom. I told her I thought I could do it, but I din't expect it so soon. The other box, well, that was the latch hook rug to match. Gee..... I've never done latch hook. Umm... maybe I'm a little over my head. The whole afghan is single crochet. The rug, well it is as big as my dining room table. So I will tell you how I'm coming along, when, or should I say if, I ever get to come up for air. If you haven't heard from me for a while, send a search party. I may be lost under all the yarn strands!
