For me, the 2011 Fall term of university will forever be associated with this blanket. General Phonetics and Research Methods are all over it. My (mostly) monogamous relationship with it proved trying at times, but the final result is something I am proud of.


This was knit for my sister, who generously loaned me her iPod touch for an indefinite period. I then proceeded to break said iPod (or rather, it just up and died). Rather than simply having me replace it, my sister opted for a knitted afghan instead. In a fit of irony, the iPod recently sprang to life. This is when I decided the medium size was PLENTY of afghan and wrapped this sucker up. I am quite pleased with it, though admittedly very happy to be finished!


While I'd love to believe that Dreyfus is in love with this blanket (it will live in his house, after all), my heart knows that he is really just in love with the person underneath it.
