Day 25: He knows it's his, and that doesn't make finishing it any easier for me. Every time I lay Merry's new blanket aside, he takes possession of it. Oh, sure, I could put it somewhere else, hide it from him, but how could I ever be so mean when it gives him so much pleasure? I'll get the hem done eventually, even though I'm only managing about eight inches per sitting before my fingers give out. I'm working closed blanket stitch around the edge (see inset), and considering that the fleece is roughly 54" x 68" (big enough to cover a double bed), it's going to take a while anyway. And yes, I could have just turned a hem and stitched it up on the sewing machine, but that wouldn't have been as much fun for me as finishing it by hand. Besides, a special little kit-cat deserves the very best his mama can provide.
