My ripple afghan had been neatly folded and set aside for awhile, and now I'm determined to finish it up as quickly as I can! I had to buy one more skein of yarn, but that is it! I'm buying NO MORE YARN for this project!!!
This is a picture from last spring, since I procrastinated today and never got around to taking a decent shot while it was still light out!
My cable scarf has been in and out of my workbag, but mostly in. I have a love/hate relationship with the cables. I love the way they look, but I get to feeling annoyed every row that I need to pick my cable needle up. It's just one more thing to have in my hands, I guess. I know there is a method for not using a cable needle, but I have tried it several times and it doesn't work for me. That being said, I hope by next Wednesday I will have a finished scarf to show off! I'm about 75% finished!
And then, because I needed another project, I cast on for this afghan:
The book with this pattern in it is coming out this spring. Oh, see the tan and brown square near the lower left hand corner of the picture? I knit that, and it ended up in the afghan pictured in the book! *big, silly grin*
So of course, since I have the pattern, I decided to start the afghan now. It will be a sampler of the socks I've knitted. I figure it will take a while, but that's ok! My first square is being knit with the yarn from my mother-in-law's socks.
That's "all" I have in the works...for now! *Grin*
PS. Stop by Mrs. H's blog if you have a WIP Wednesday to share!

Tammy ~ Wow! I would have a grin on my face, too. Congratulations! I remember when you showed us your square. I "almost" partcipated but wasn't quite "with it" enough to enter anything. I'm so glad you're in the book! And I wish you well on using up all your sock yarn. :)
Nice Image(s)
I love those pictures! And that's "all" the projects? lol I'm doing good with my one!
I love your ripple afghan. My grandma made me one in the mid 60's & I still have it. She made one for my mom too. I would love to learn how to make one of those. You have a talent there... :)
Your ripple afghan is turning out very nicely. I want to make one myself so badly, but I am scared of having the same issue you have had...having to buy more and more yarn for it!
I also have a cable scarf on the needles, but since warm weather is only a month or so away around here, I have decided to hibernate it until fall, and finish it for next winter, along with one for dh.
I like your afghan! I've got one that I put away about a year and a half ago that I really need to finish. I've only got the border left to do, but I have so many other things I would rather be doing.
Wow! I love this afghan! It looks like a lot of work though! But then one can use up some shorter pieces of left-over yard laying around :)
Hi Tammy!!!
Where did you get the pattern for this afghan? I want to start a new project and a ripple afghan sounds like fun. I like the way yours looks- BEAUTIFUL!!
His,
