Notes

9 April 17 I made a commitment that 2017 would be the year that I’d finally finish this blanket.

27 Jan 15 118 done.

4 Feb 14 Hahaha finish it in 2013 haha!

13 Aug 13 86 yeah baby!

03 Aug 13 68 hexes down. I loosely set a goal to finish this in 2013, but I’m going to have to crank it up a bit if I want to do that.

06 Nov 12 Up to 54 hexes. Still so far to go. But it looks more hopeful that I might finish within five years.

Feb 12 So at my current rate of 2 hexes per month, this should take me about 160 months or approximately 13.3 years to finish.

Crap.
