| Mason Dixon Baby Moderne Blanket |
I started this blanket in February of 2007. I am still knitting it. And I have just realized that if I'm still knitting it in February of 2012, I will have been working on it for FIVE YEARS.
This is when I start thinking about all of the things that have happened in my life since I started knitting this thing. Off the top of my head, I can say that I've acquired a dog, a marriage, a second home and a career change since I started this blanket. This is not to mention all of the amazing things that have happened in this world since I started knitting this blanket. I am stuck between fascination and despair - fascination that I could let something take so long and despair over the fact that I have literally let it take so long.
What I have failed to mention is that this blanket has always been an intended gift for my husband. And he has patiently waited, birthday after birthday, Christmas after Christmas, for the long promised blanket.
Now if that's not patience, I don't know what is.
