Done in the nick of time

I did! I made my self-imposed deadline
with my latest ripple/chevron baby blanket.

While I started crocheting lakeside,

I finished most of it poolside at the hotel

where my boys attended band camp.

Everyone came to expect me to have a flying crochet hook

in my hand whenever they saw me sitting

and wondered on the last day if I was done with it.

I was happy to finish the last few rows

in the comfort of air conditioning.
We had a mini heatwave here in upstate New York

and it just wasn't conducive to crocheting a blanket.
