The crochet ripple blanket continues to grow. I've added 18 more stripes since the last photo. Okay, I did have to ask Scrabble to pose for this photo, but I think it's tradition now, don't you?
By the way, he did get groomed today so he was picture perfect. I spent one whole evening this week weaving in the ends of all the stripes I've done so far. I can't believe how long that takes!
My basket of yarn is dwindling though and that's a very good sign. Dare I say this blanket may be done before the winter is out?
I just have to show you this. It's not a sea urchin in my teapot. It's Jasmine Globe green tea from Harney Tea. It's so cool looking and the fragrance is heavenly! This is my afternoon pick-me-up lately.
I haven't given up on the liberated blocks. In fact, today I made good progress on putting together the "Night at the Improv" top. I also got out some crumb/string blocks I had made last year and made a few more to round it out at 25. I need to get some red for the sashing because, even with a nice basket of reds, none of them are quite right. I also think I'm going to use a yard of cheddar for the setting or sashing on the blocks with the red and brown tones. It's getting fun now that I'm figuring out how to use some of these blocks!
