Crocheting a blanket timeframes

So I am currently crocheting an adult blanket. I have crochet a child’s blanket before but this one is just that much bigger. 

To be honest, I once worked out it takes me thirty minutes to crochet one row of this adult’s blanket. Now, I spend thirty minutes and get disappointed it is only one row. And because I am spending less time crocheting, I am finding this a slow slog in getting this blanket even near halfway. 

I started a video to show each week’s progress and from week 4 onwards I just haven’t really achieved much. 

Have you experienced this feeling before? And just feeling de-motivated in finishing? I really want this blanket and I want to make a few more so I have to get motivated. 

In saying that, one of my friend’s is having a baby. So I thought I would crochet this baby blanket at places where I can take a small crochet project such as the train. 

So now I have two crochet projects at once. I am curious to know if people tend to have more than one project at once and do you eventually finish your projects? 

I haven’t crocheted a baby blanket before, so I’m hoping it’s long enough. I just took a guess.

Crocheting my first blanket

So I decided that crocheting animals etc is pretty stressful. Not really stressful but not relaxing. A cool end result but I wanted to find something to crochet where I didn’t have to count the stitches or focus on the different type of stitches. So I decided to crochet a simple blanket.  I just wanted to use a small amount of stitches and not count them. I didn’t want to do anything fancy. But I still wanted to crochet. I believe if I could find something to stitch that I could just relax doing than it was worth it. I started googling a simply blanket planet using single crochet stitch. And I found one. It’s simple start off with the first row with a chain stitch and then turn it over and do the rest with a single crochet stitch. Brilliant. So I started crocheting a baby blanket. It didn’t work out. The sides were uneven and the blanket was all different lengths. So I googled and realised after I do a row of single crochet stitches, I have to do one chain stitch at the end before ...

Paint by numbers revival

  For a few years, a few years ago (lol), I did some paint by numbers. I really enjoyed the painting and the end result looks amazing.  I have quite a lot of hobbies now and my last two paint by numbers I never finished. I think because some of the paint had dried, because I left the painting too long at times and the other painting I just didn’t enjoy the picture, so they didn’t get completed. I then got distracted with new hobbies such as diamond painting, which is similar to paint by numbers. With diamond painting you match the drill to the number to create a picture.  However, I have redecorated my home and put up my finished paint by numbers. So I decided to try another one. A few years ago, I had to buy the wooden frame with the canvas and build it together but now you have the option to buy a ready frame, where the company puts the frame and canvas together for you.  My most recent purchase is this beautiful image:  If you are interested, please find the ...
