The Slow Go

It is almost my nephew's 13th birthday. I began working on an afghan for him at the end of August, thinking that this would give me plenty of time to complete this warm cozy colorful throw. I proceeded to pick out this beautiful yarn. An interesting afghan pattern, called Rambeling Rows. Armed and ready, with my tools, and the use of a knitting technique called mitered squares, I was ready to go. Then tomorrow happened. Then many, many, many tomorrows happened. And here we are in November with no end in sight. OK. So I took a break to knit a couple of hats. Then I became distracted by my new "crackberry", which I have been downright addicted to since getting this phone, having come to terms that my previous phone, being held together by a rubber band was due to crap out on me at any moment. Then Halloween. And Halloween madness. The question now is, can I get this thing done in 15 days? I am going to say . . .

I have no idea. Perhaps I should start thinking about this as a Christmas gift.
