I love the look of mixed, randomly placed colors. It reminds me of my grandmother’s scrap afghans she used to make. No two blankets were exactly alike, and that made them so special!
However, just because I love how they look, does NOT mean I like to create them. Ugh!!! I don’t mind making the pieces, it’s the connecting them together that I dislike so much. I can’t help it. It’s all those rotten little loose ends that need to be sewn or weaved into the blanket. Can’t just cut them off, or you risk the blanket unraveling. You must work two or three inches of them into the other stitches for the endings to be sturdy enough to withstand time and use.
So, yeah… This… this is why I dislike making ANYTHING with a lot of pieces. I hate weaving in all those ugly loose ends! I wanted to make this to go across the back of my new sofa. That sofa is now 2½ years old! I will
finish this!! … someday
… maybe
