Can you believe that I have not yet started any new projects in 2016? I’ve been doggedly sticking to this Coast Ripple blanket, following the pattern’s sequence of colors exactly and crocheting a few stitches and a few rows at a time. I’m trying to tame my crafter’s attention deficit disorder (which I know is technically not a real thing and I shouldn’t be throwing that diagnosis around– bad psychologist!– but still). Anyway, this whole afghan has been an exercise in commitment.
Right now it’s almost 6 feet long with about ten more rows to go and a border to add. I asked Sean (who is 6’1″) to get in the photo so that I could show some sense of scale.
Also, I thought that a picture with an actual person in it would look a lot better than the first photo that I took.
I’m hoping to get this thing finished by the end of the week. After all, I have been working on this thing all year.

That is a lovely blanket 🙂 And I agree, putting a person on it makes for a much more interesting photo.

If crafter ADD is not a real disorder, it ought to be!

Gorgeous! The blanket model is somewhat color-coordinated: very serene. The last photo, with the tiny ball of yarn and lone little needle–puts into perspective how big is the project, in size and time and energy 🙂

Oh ok, same method I’m using only I’m doing double so 14+2. I do not like the 2 chain only turning chain but it is in keeping with your pattern too… Hmm…

I personally chain 3 for my turning and count that as a double crochet. Hope that made sense…
