This blanket is due on May 26th. From your ripple-iscious experience, do you think I can get it done? Maybe I should be working on it instead of blogging? Or Flickring? Or anything else?!

I've accomplished a bit more on my other blankets - that's right, i'm the one doing three at a time. Would you like to see?

Do I still trust the process?

Oh this is such a challenge for me! I'm really struggling with giving control to the yarn Goddesses and trusting their choice in colours. I don't like it so far. I'm tempted to frog it all - which would also be a huge lesson in letting go of control (Can you imagine all that work - puff gone!?). Anyway, I've noticed a trend: this blanket is turning into something quite similar to my granny square afghan. The colours are the same! See? I don't want two blankets that are the same especially when my granny ghan is so pretty! (I think the ripple would pale in comparison). With that said, I've put out the next eight colours, and I think that my worries may blend in with the new shades.

I have to disclose something: I absolutely love decreasing! I attempt to reach that time anxiously... that time to not fully finish each stitch. Oh valleys!

A Can of Worms

Ok, kids. There's a reason I spent the last three years tinkering on the internet. It's, um, obsession.

I'm finally feeling a lot better, and am consequently catching up on nearly two weeks' worth of neglected work. Yesterday was the first day since I started that I didn't touch my ripple.

But what did I do today? I read Alicia's blog, of course. And what's she spent the last few days making? Breathtaking granny squares. And what have I wanted to do with the yarn leftover from my ripple? Make granny squares, of course.

Won't you join in for some more trad crochet fun?

UPDATE (11pm, March 6): I've changed the link to the granny-along.
