Started with an AirMattress and a Prayer
I remember stepping into this apartment with nothing but a key, a half-deflated air mattress, and a prayer. I had just enough for the deposit… and not a dollar more. No couch, no bed frame, not even a fork in the drawer. Just four walls and faith that this was the start of something bigger. That

A blanket I will never finish….
I started this blanket over 4 years ago. I still have it, but I will never finish it. Why? No matter how much I love the colors and pattern once I get bored of a project it goes into the pile of shame. Aka the pile of unfinished projects. Starting a project? Love it, 10/10. Finishing a project

Is Single Crochet Too Slow for a Blanket?
Okay, I need to vent—I started a blanket using only single crochet and now I feel like I might be… making things harder for myself 😅 I’m fairly new to crochet, so I’m slow anyway, but this stitch feels like it’s taking forever. I know single crochet makes a dense, warm blanket, but is it “stupid”

I'll think about adding these bubbles in like a soft pink color and making the weighted part as a middle panel of the blanket. that way I don't have to buy more yarn and more beads. considering that I started this project to help you use up some of the yarn. #summerdiary #lemon8conte
