I'm still working on sewing the squares together for the afghan I'm making my son and his wife for Christmas. I really have a hard time sticking with it and sometimes I take time away from it and work on an afghan for my brother's Christmas present. Hey Lil' Brother don't read this! Anyway, while lurking in my yahoo groups one member posted this link to youtube. I think for those of you who crochet or knit this will hit home! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6ZjMWLqJvM . Have a good one!
