With five hours in the car ahead of me (as well as five hours home), I foresaw some quality ripple time in my future. I bundled it up, with the next two colours I needed (like, there’s no point getting too excited, it is, after all, five hours in the car with four children and a husband that appreciates being thrown the odd conversational bones). Then. 2.5 hours in. Disaster.
Yarn roulette. Such a lovely relaxing way to pass an afternoon. — Little White Dove (@thedovenest) July 8, 2014
I knew I was going to lose, but I kept going. For a bit, anyway.
Aaand the yarn wins. Drats. — Little White Dove (@thedovenest) July 8, 2014
Of course. So instead I got to twiddle my thumbs and read a bit. Which is nice, but when I had planned to make decent inroads on the current colour block, also frustrating. Look at it. Look how close I was. Drats.
Keeping with the crochet theme – last week Amy shared her crochet baby blanket. 
And the week before, AJ started a very pretty new ripple.

I know only too well the feeling or running out of yarn just when you get into your groove!
On the plus side I’ve made some great progress on my blanket for Ethan since last week. He has taken over the design process and keeps adding other colours. He is also a hard task master as he keeps reminding me that it’s cold and he needs the blanket finished asap!
Nagging little people are good motivators, aren’t they? Looking forward to seeing your progress

Oi Psst you forgot I too have been crocheting. A glove. Singular. Yes it is still missing its partner
Get the second one done and then we’ll talk 😉
I did take extra – of the next colours! First time I’ve finished a ball mid row.

But if I do finish the second it won’t be a WIP…. #justsayin
