My crochet obsession is waning. I am trying to keep enough steam up to finish this ripple…

This is ripple No.2 (Son of Ripple) (or Ripple: The Sequel). I think this one is more of a slog because the pattern is repeat and I need the uncertainty of what’s coming next to keep me interested.The only thing that’s keeping me going right now is that I’m going to have red pom poms on the points (I love red pom poms just as much as I love red buttons, red ric rac and red prairie points). I tried a blue stripe
and then chocolate brown
before settling on slime green (it’s quite a bit yellower than it looks in this photo). I do love red and green together, but all my greens need to be lime or frog pond or acid green or grass or apple. I don’t like pine, Hunter, forest or other such blech greens.

I had a great day yesterday! I went to Sussanah’s house and did scrapbooking. It was terrific. I whined and was needy (Sussanah, I don’t know what to dooooooo! Whyyyyyyy isn’t this workiiiing??), she gave me advice and supplies, she was kind and encouraging and NICE (heh heh, beige chick, heh heh), I used all of her stuff, drank her diet coke and then she even drove me home. I’m not sure what I contributed. Maybe she won’t invite me again.
