Haven't been able to turn my head for 3 days... just figured out why

I'm suffering from "phone neck,," as it's described in teens.

Only I haven't been bent over my phone.

I've been bent over the blanket that I'm making to give as a wedding present next month.

22 more square to go in 34 days...

I think I'm doing to have to start working w/ a heating pad on my neck.

The blanket will have a total of 30 squares--6 columns and 5 rows. Each square is a little more than a foot long/wide.

The last time I made a blanket for a wedding present, I used MUCH smaller squares.

11 columns and 9 rows--99 squares.

Major pain in the butt to work in all those yarn ends.
