The blanket that is no more

Thats right. I said it. Its put on the back-burner. The infamous granny-square blanket for Brayden. I lost my desire to crochet blocks. I didn't get far, so..yea honestly I don't know what I wanted to put there.
I am still making him a blanket. I actually started on it tonight. Then frogged it. Then started. Frogged again. Do you see the pattern? I never fully completed 3 rows. It sits currently on my bedside table with not even the first row done. Its aboutthisclose though.

This is my favorite square from said blanket.

I'm a person who prefers to work in the rounds. Not rows. Something about chain 132 gets me. Yes, I chained 132 realized it was too tight after starting on the 3rd row, 131 and finished the first row only to realized that damn I was one short. Yes, there were many phrases that involved "crap, how many is that?" Resulting in me finding it was just easier to frog it and start back at 1 rather than counting each and every blessed chain.

The new blanket, which will be the same colors, is a ripple afghan. I had a hard time finding something that wasn't overly feminine. Ripples it is.
