Ripple Afghan, Take 2I had to iron off a couple issues as I kept having to fudge a stitch at the end of the row–it had to do with where I put the first dc after chaining three. If I put the first dc into the stitch one over from the chain (where it should go, if I remember right), it throws it off, so I’m doing it into the bottom of the chain area and so far so good. I hope to finish off the navy row today and move on to the light blue (the one color I’m not sure of, I’m afraid it’s too light for the rest, but we’ll see). I had to really mess with Photoshop to get anywhere near accurate colors, and this was in good indirect sunlight–I’m not sure why it isn’t photographing well. Anyway, the blue is really a navy. The afghan ended up being a solid foot longer than I had planned–I was aiming for 5 feet wide, but it is a solid 6 feet. I’m not really interested in pulling it out and restarting, and by not interested I mean–it’s not happening, so it’ll either be nice and wide or I’ll make it a vertical stripe afghan and stop when it’s as wide as I want it. Purely whim will decide that down the road.

I want to put a small, easy project onto the needles tonight as well, so I think I’ll cast on for this Bainbridge Scarf–it looks easy, quick, and it’s a nice look I could think of a couple people I could make this as a gift for. I have a couple yarns in stash that would work out for this, so I’ll play around and see what I come up with.
