Last night I finished the baby blanket. YAY! As always when I finish a larger project, I felt a wonderful feeling of elation about it. It's a nice feeling to have. It's like this mix of pride and relief all at once. It's kind of beautiful.
If I were ever to raise a child, I think I would teach them skills and set tasks for them to where they felt this quite often. I would want this sense of completing a project to be something they were familiar with, something they craved. I truly believe this makes for healthier, happier people.
Anyway, once the blanket is washed and the ends are woven in, I'll take some pictures of it. My roommate said it was the prettiest thing I've ever made. I am inclined to agree.
