So I've scrapped the idea of the butterflies and dragonflies. I think it was partly because they weren't ending up really square and I didn't want to block it all nice and then get all weird the first time the recipient ran it through the wash. So I've decided to do a log cabin style blanket using the same colors. So far it's going well, and quickly. That's probably because the rectangles are fairly small still.
The good thing about the pattern is that it's a fairly mindless knit. I don't have to pay attention to the pattern or really count stitches. I've been so tired lately with moving and going to the apartment every night after work for an hour or so to clean that I haven't been able to really concentrate on too much when I get home. Most nights it's been after 8 that I get home, and one night it was closer to 9. And since I leave the house at 7 am, it makes for a long day. So mindless garter stitch is ok by me.
Only a few more days and I'll be finished with the apartment and I won't have to deal with it anymore. Of course, then I have to unpack all my stuff so my parents can have their living room back. But there isn't really a deadline for that.
I'll try to remember to take pictures of the log cabin blanket progress later tonight.
