What's Going on in My Crochet World?

I'm working on a granny ripple afghan. My other projects have been put on hold because there is a time limit on this one--I plan to give it to a dear aunt and uncle. They don't know about it so shhh if you know them. ; ) I'm enjoying the use of neutral colors. I never thought I'd say that! I had gotten so used to white walls when we moved around in the military that I have gone crazy with color when we finally settled in our own home. My big mistake was when I picked a color for our bedroom that I thought resembled terracotta but it ended up looking like we were living inside a CARROT! That lasted a few years and I now have a soft-blue colored bedroom that is perfect. Anyway, I'm jabbering on here about carrots and colors and what I really wanted to do is show you how far I've gotten on this project. Sometimes I take part in the WIP Wednesday over at Every Day Crochet but I don't think she's doing it this week. Oh, and finally, here's the picture:

    Thanks Lynn. I had a hard time getting this ghan started. I made it a little wider and for some reason I couldn't get the right number of starting chains. After frogging the first row several times, I crocheted a bunch of extra chains and just undid the the ones I didn't need. Once I got it going it became very easy to do. Trying to think of a border for it now--maybe just a simple single crochet.

    Very pretty Sharon Marie. I really like the neutral tones you are using. I liked your story about the "carrot" walls. I did something similar in my family room in my previous house. It was a hard color to get used to. Have a great evening. :-)

    I think this is stunning and will be an heirloom.
