Mike the Tiger Took My Baby Blanket!

Can you believe what this little guy did? I just found this baby blanket that I had started in the last two years. It was for my last grandson born. Somewhere along the way it was abandoned and forgotten. I found it yesterday and pulled it out. I am at least half way through crocheting on it and it will be done. At least my little monkey is only a year old and can use this blanket in his crib. Anyway, I found Mike in my bed all covered up with the new blankie. Hubby wasn't impressed either when he got home from work because Mike was on HIS side of the bed. HA! Do you ever start crochet projects or other needlework projects and abandon them?

I used to have dozens of such projects but then I made a decision to finish each one. I still have one to do.

I used to crochet all winter. It seems like I'm busier than ever now.

@wolfgirl569 I don't think I would be very successful trying to knit!

My teddy bar steals my blankets. I am guilt of abandoning crochet projects. I have found a work in progress yesterday and I have decided to continue.

@LadyDuck I have made small ones for baby dolls. Need to do that for the newest granddaughter. She is just not getting into dolls!

I've pretty much abandoned ever crochet project I've ever started! Which is to say, I haven't ever even started a crochet project before! haha I've got this beautiful orange and blue blanket I can send Mike to cover up with while you finishing crocheting that blanket. I'm sure he'll absolutely love it!

I don't know about that. If he smells any Gator on it, he will want to EAT it!!! He takes after his Uncle Mike there, the real Tiger mascot. You know he gets fed his meals in whatever form of the team they are playing? If they can't shape it, they spell it out!! I'll have to capture a photo for you next time I see it!!

@kareng Shame on Mike for taking the blanket. I have started knitting things and have left them unfinished.

@Hannihar I don't know that many stitches or patterns. Hopefully, there is hope for me to continue to learn a few more!

Not for long. I worked on it some more last night. An end will be in sight and the blankie will go to Master Christian.

Yep, I guess that shows us that we need to slow down a bit.

I have another one, yellow, that I started for my first grandson. It was with a new stitch. I have since lost directions. I took it to my mother in law before she passed because she has been crocheting for years and the stitch stumped her. So it is in limbo and somewhere stashed away here.

almost every art project I start I end up abandoning, so my main resolution this year is to not let that happen! good luck with the crocheting, you can do it :)
