The Prerogative of All Ripplers

After agonizing over whether to use blue...

...or chocolate brown as the oddball stripe in my new ripple,
I finally chose green.
This green doesn't photograph well. It's actually quite a bit yellower than it appears here - more of a slime green, in fact. I am constantly amazed at how much yarn these afghans take. As a previously-non-crocheter, am I just unaware how little you get from one ball of yarn? Or do they really gobble yarn??
And I think I am finally running out of rippling steam. It's been an obsession for two months but my stamina is failing me :(
I think I can, I think I can...

Done the 2nd blanket

Do you remember that I'm working on three blankets - a granny square ghan, a scrap ripple ghan, and another ripple that will be a bridal shower gift? Well, I finished the gift - and in time too! It's not as wide as I was going to do it, because I switched it to be vertical instead of horizontal. It's blocking right now, trying to even out the end... heh. It's totally different colours than she requested, one by fault of mine, one due to the fault of Walmart's selection. But anyway, here's a photo from May 11th.

And since that shot, I've added two more rows - white and dark green. And now it's complete. Tada!!
