First post, and a story

Hi all! Since this is my first post, let me just say that this is a blog to show my creative side to the world. Therefore, I will be posting about what I'm crocheting, what I've done, and what I hope to do someday, and occasionally some asides. I will add more information about myself later, and right now I'm going to play around with my settings a bit.

And the story.... Well, I'm a senior in college/first year grad student, and I'm nearing the end of the semester. The next two weeks will be insanely busy. So my dad called two nights ago to tell me about a charity auction he's organizing for a good friend of his who has cancer, and he said, "So, do you have, oh, I don't know, a spare afghan lying around that you want to donate?" It was adorable, but alas, I have no spare afghan. I'm currently making three, one for a cousing who graduates from high school at the end of May, one for a cousin who gets married at the beginning of June, and one for my sister, who is having a baby in August. And I'm doing tons and tons of homework. So of course, I say that I'll have one to him by May 5th, because I'm insane. The one I had started for my sister will now be turning into a charity afghan, and she'll just have to wait. I don't know where I'm going to carve out time in my schedule between homework, my job, and doing psych experiments for cash, but I'm sure it's, um, possible. Maybe?
