How could I forget my blanket?

Ok...so this post is kinda pointless seeing as I can't post any photos just now, but I figured I can write it and post some photos with the rest tomorrow.

If you don't know, last week or so I decided that I was going to knit a blanket for the baby.  Well, really my knitting skills are non-existant.  About 8 years ago or more, my nana taught me how to knit a straight stitch to make scarfs lol.  But thankfully YOUTUBE exists and I just searched all the abreviations in the pattern book to figure the thing out.  Unfortunatly by the time I searched it all, I had knitted about an inch or more of the blanket...WRONG.  I know an inch doesnt sound like much, but if you knit or have even attemped it, you know that it takes a bit just to get to this point-especially after casting on 193 stitches.  Needless to say, I was advised by another woman to just pull it apart and start fresh.  She said I would regret it in the end if I didnt.  It was a sad night in our house as I pulled the whole darn thing apart and started over.  But she is right.  Im glad I pulled it apart because now it is turning out wonderfully.  I run into mistakes here and there, but the love and time will always be in this baby's blanket.  It is going to take a while to finish it, but until then I will just keep on picking away at it.  The insentive to keep going and not give up, is the best motivation ever.

I will post some photos of my progress tomorrow!
