Corner to Corner Afghan

I recently started my first Corner To Corner afghan. I had seen so many people post pictures of them online that I loved that I finlly had to give it a try even if it meant another large project in my WIPs (works in progress).
The written instructions (download here http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/crochet-corner-corner-throw) were confusing, so I used the video tutorial provided by Mikey at the Crochet Crowd and understood in just a couple minutes what to do.
It's not often I have trouble with a written pattern, but in this case I never would have been able to do it without this video.
I had initially planned on finishing this before the end of January; but, it doesn't look like that is going to happen. I just can't make myself stick to working on this for any length of time while I obsess on the Year in Hexies I am dying to work on more. Instead, I do a couple rows a day and it will get done when it gets done.
Deadlines make me dread projects more anyhow. ;)
I had not initially planned on using the Candy Print yarn, but I made my all too common mistake of starting a project before checking the amount of yarn needed. In fact, I didnt even think to check until I had already finished the first 4 colors.  I REALLY didn't expect the pattern to call for 12 skeins! So, I had to bulk out my supply and the Candy Print was the only other yarn in my stash that fit. I just wish I had placed it at a different point in the rows. That's what I get for jumping in without proper planning, and for being too stubborn to frog back to where the color should go. All in all I don't think it's too bad though.
