I finished my Ripple Afghan tonight, with time to spare. Gold medal for me!
Better than 2008’s DNF results.

Between Day 4 and Day 10, I crocheted another 17 colors.
The afghan was square at this point. And big enough to be functional. So I figure by the end of the Olympics I should have a blanket big enough to be called “finished.”

Here’s my progress as of Day 4.
I’ve crocheted 8 more colors.

I thought I’d take a “before” photo of my Ripple Blanket before I started the UFOlympics tonight.
I doubt I’ll “Finish” the blanket during the Olympics. I don’t even know at this point what “finished” will be. Whenever I think the blanket is long enough to be functional! But who knows, maybe I’ll crochet faster than I think I can.

I love this yarn. I have a couple of tops that are red & black, and I’ve never had a pair of handknit socks to match them.
Now I do!
The yarn had a lot more orange in it than I initially thought, but it’s still perfect (and thus it also matches anything orangey I may wear too!)
I really like the Patons Kroy sock yarn too. It’s soft and strong, and the colors are nice & vibrant. And it’s available in big-box stores, so it’s easy to obtain. Which I think I will be doing…my mom really liked this yarn too, and wants a pair of her own – but I only have 1 full skein left and some small bits of leftovers. Not enough for a full pair of socks for her (especially since I’ve been informed she wants the legs long!). So I will probably pick up another skein someday.
