I just got the yarn in today! YAY! So I’m going to set this to finished today.

8:40 p.m.
I. AM. FINISHED! I just have to weave in the last tail and wash it!

4/8/09
I’ve just ordered the yarn I’m needing! My sis couldn’t find it up in Lafayette, so I ordered it through joann.com.

4/1/09
Turns out that Hobby Lobby in Richmond doesn’t have the colorway either. I’m going to talk my sister to see if the Lafayette store has any. If not, I can order it from www.joann.com for a reasonable price.

3/30/09
Let’s see, I went to Hobby Lobby in Muncie to find the rose violet color and they had every other color but that one. So attempt numero 2 tomorrow at Richmond’s Hobby Lobby.

Yeah, I’ve put this to finished, but as soon as the weekend comes around (or sometime this week) I’ll get this done!

3/29/09
I just have about 1 1/2 rounds to go on this and I am done! But I have to go out and buy another skein of the rose violet because I have ran out. So, I’m looking at getting this done next weekend.

3/18/09
I am almost done with this blanket! I just have to finish up the last black round and then start using the rose violet color for the last stripe. I think I’m going to not use the black as the border, but the rose violet. I don’t know if I’ll put any kind of 2nd border around it yet.

10/13/08
I’ve been working on it little by little. I have the next section of color done (green). I don’t have time to work on it hardly anymore because I started a new job (at the same grocery store as my mom) and it’s taking a lot of my pre-bed time to check on my internet browsing. It’s too big to be carrying it with me to BSU. Hopefully, I’ll remember to take it with me when I go and see the family from Colorado (that are visiting) at the end of the month.

9/5/08
Yesterday I purchased 2 skeins of Plymouth Jelli Beenz in the black and multi-colors to be used as trimming. I am also almost done with the last yellow stripe and had to start a new skein within the 3rd round of the yellow. I can now use it as a lapghan as I work on it.

8/12/08
The pictures I’ve just uploaded are a lot closer in color. I’m also starting the color sequence over again. The colors are really coming together a lot better than I thought.
