Why do I do these things.

   I am starting my Mom's blanket over.  It just seems too plan. I am still using the same pattern but I am making 5 squares across instead of 7 and making a really wide border.  I just need to figure out how to go from a row of sc to a groups of 3 like you would do in a granny square.  and I am making an extra sc row around each row of squares.  I need to have it done by March 10 why I am deciding to try something new now is beyond me. Hopefully it will be worth it. I really want to make my Mom something she will love.
