I've mentioned the project I just can't seem to finish. I decided to try to finish it during Ravelry's Ravellenic games (during the Olympics). I was making good progress when the games ended. Basically, I had completed crocheting the blocks together and started crocheting the edging. I knew it wouldn't take me long to finish the afghan now! About halfway through the edging and then.......This.
No-o-o-o-o-o! I wanted to cry! I wanted to frog! After all this time! WHY?!?!?! I have to tell you, though, when I first started this project I really had no good method for weaving in the ends. This comes from being a sort of "learn-as-you-go" kind of girl. I'm pretty sure I can fix this block. The BIG problem.......I'm planning on giving this as a gift. Is this going to happen again? What to do? What to DO?
So.....Here's what I think I've decided to do. Fix the affected block. Then.......wash the afghan and see how many other blocks come apart. Then.....fix those blocks. Because, REALLY, what else can I do?

Ravellenic Challenge 2012
Here's the progress I made during the Olympics on my Ravellenic projects:
- Homespun Granny Afghan- This was my MAIN project and I must say that even though this won't be finished by the closing ceremonies.......I got quite a bit done on it! I only have 3 more blocks to sc onto the last strip! Once that strip is sc to the main afghan and an edging added, it will be done! I know what you're thinking......what about ALL those ends to weave in? HA! I've been weaving in all those ends as I go! See this post for a tutorial of how to do that.
- 3-Hour Cowl- By the second day of the Olympics I was SO pleased with my progress on the afghan..... I went ahead and cast-on this project as a travel project. I probably should not have done this as my vacation ended the third day of the Olympics. After I went back to work, (along with some other things I had committed to) I didn't get alot of knitting or crocheting time, so I had to abandon this project halfway through to continue to make progress on my afghan. Now we all understand why this blog is named "My Life's Little Distractions"!
- Charity Blocks- No progress. Didn't begin any of them. These will be waiting for me AFTER the Olympics!
