This morning I finally had the free time in the right light of day to spread out my crochet squares for an update. I really get enthusiasm for this project in waves. I make a huge pile of squares and then I start to lose steam when I think about weaving in all the ends. So I save the squares, weave in all the ends in a marathon talk with my parents on Skype, and then don't want to look at granny squares again for a while. It's been a while since weaving in all those ends, so I might start another crochet spurt soon. My supplies are showing signs of dwindling so I think this should be the perfect project to finish off that gigantic Palette* sampler that my mom gave me for my birthday ages ago.

In other news, Ms. Marigold is a fast one! I just have to cast off at the bottom edge and then do some finishing touches before it is done! Who knows how long that will take though, now that I am going to be pulling out the crochet bag again. Tomorrow is the first holiday of golden week and then next weekend is a glorious four-day weekend with no plans, woo! I'm looking forward to enjoying the nice spring weather, even if it means stretched out on my couch with all the windows open.

*Wow, it looks like all the harsh brights are on clearance and they are really introducing lots of more muted, wearable colors. This is a great yarn, yay!
