Notes:
This was another learning experience. One that failed, sort of.

I started off making this blanket by crocheting two strands of yarn in rows. I had the light green (juniper), the purple (deep violet), and the variegated, and I swapped yarns in and out. It was a neat effect. Very pretty.

The problem was that it really wasn't portable, and I wasn't working on it enough. (I was working on it more than the ripple crochet blanket, but still, it wasn't enough.)

So I reassessed, redesigned, and ripped out. (Rolling the ripped-out stuff into balls... Now that was an experience!)

I started again, this time making squares.

And I needed more yarn. For some reason, the local shop was out of the light green, and I really wanted to get this thing done. So I bought the dark green.

It works well enough, I think.

(But it would have been really cool if I'd been able to finish that lovely, fluffy, snuggly q-hook blanket.)
