WIPW: Work-In-Progress Wednesday - Grannies and Ripples + Newborn Baby Prop

It's that time again!! And yes, I'm still working on that grannies and ripples afghan! I didn't do much this week, maybe 6 rows total. I know, I've been bad! But I had my book club meeting on Sunday and I needed to finish 200+ pages in my book, so I whipped it out and didn't crochet much.

Since I have you all right here looking at my afghan, I need a bit of creative advice. After the first set of grannies {the ones at the bottom of the picture} I worked 3 rows of green, 3 rows of verigated, and 6 rows of beige. Just now, after the 2nd set of grannies {the ones at the top} I worked 6 rows of beige, and i'm going to work 3 rows of verigated.... when I get to the green, should I work in 6 rows or stay with 3? I'm trying to picture what it would look like in my head with a bigger stripe of green. I think it'll look fine at the ends, but i'm not sure if the smaller stripe of green in the middle will still look okay. So what do you guys think? Remember, that green that i've already made is the middle of the afghan. What I am doing to this side I am going to mirror on the other side.



I also started working on another project for my cousin. She asked me if I could make her something like this for her baby after he's born.

So, I thought i'd give it a try! I did finish the diaper cover... so here's a sneak peak at that. Sorry, I know, something finished is in the work-in-progress post!! What a horrible thing!!! ;)

However, I can say that the hat is still a work-in-progress!! I need to make and sew on about 5 or 6 more of these spikes, and then it should be finished! I hope that it looks as cute as the one in the picture above does.

If you notice, I am using the same colors as the grannies and ripples blanket. When asking my cousin about the colors she wanted, I showed her the grannies and ripples blanket and she loved the beige and green in that! So there we are. I can't wait until it's all finished!

I'm am linked up at Ambassador Crochet and Yarn Along.

I love the idea of having a link up of my own, because I love looking at others projects. So please feel free to link up with me too! No need to grab a button or say you did.
