crochet: put a granny triangle on it


I did it! I finished my second blanket.  Well, it isn't really mine, it is currently en route to California as a house-warming gift.  Did I mentioned I am happy-dancing around the apartment because it is finished?  Oh, I am.  You don't even know.

It wasn't difficult, this blanket.  Each individual triangle was a cinch.  Even connecting them as you go was a cinch.  BUT.  The connecting involved paying attention.  You have to drop the loop and pick it back up so it wraps about the neighboring triangle --> you have to watch where you are putting the hook --> which means half the blanket cannot be accomplished while watching a movie or Doc Martin.  --> I didn't work on it as diligently as I should have.  --> it was the project that just kept going and going like the energy bunny, but with me energy-less --> and so I am happy-dancing it around the house since it is finally finished.
