Ripple Afghan

This one took me a about three weeks to complete - mostly lunch hours and late nights curled up with a good movie. Couldn't quite get the colors right with this photo - it's actually a dark purple, gold and lavender. I made it to donate to the silent auction for the softball table at Clay's Athletic Night this winter - but of course, Kelli is trying to lay claim to it. I promised to make her another one. My grandmother taught me to crochet years ago, but I've just recently picked it back up. I can never just sit down in front of the TV and watch - I have to be doing something with my hands. (It used to be folding laundry - but as my household diminishes, so does the laundry). So anyway, I now have some new patterns and an abundance of yarn. I've completed two in the past seven weeks so this may just be the "year of the afghans".
