Making A Dent?

I really want to get some new yarn and start a few Christmas presents, but first I have to make a dent in my WIPs! I picked up my ripple afghan again, and am just about out of yarn. I'd like to think that by tonight the body will be finished and I'll just need to add the edging tomorrow afternoon. The diagonal baby blanket I'm making with Crayon is taking FOREVER. A stitch is added every row so it just gets slower and slower as I go. I also discovered I'm going to need approximately 6.4 skeins to make it the size I want, and I only ordered 6, so I need to get one more. I think I'm going to get white instead of the same blue so I don't have to worry about dyelots, then it will have a diagonal white stripe in the middle. It should work out ok, I guess we'll see!
I also have my socks going right now, plus my dad's deer. I've sort of given up on the deer - my brother joked that I should make the body the neck instead, and then mount it on a piece of wood. Slightly morbid, but something my dad would think is funny. Oh, plus the Sweet Dreams throw. I'm thinking of making my MIL the same throw in colors to match their new living room, but I'm not even 1/3 of the way done with mine, so that might be too ambitious. I just have too many different projects going at once! I really want to start a shawl, but clearly I have other things to do first :)
Since every post needs a picture, here is the most recent shot of the ripple:

It's Time To Frog!

I started making another Starghan for my mom to give at a baby shower, but for the life of me couldn't get it to lie flat. Since it's acrylic yarn, I knew I couldn't block it, plus it just DID not want to be flat. At all.

While deliberating, I started making a Ripple Afghan. While researching patterns on Ravelry, I came across a CAL that had started ripples the day before! Yay! That was all I needed to get started. My leftover skeins from the Starghan are clearly not going to be enough yarn, so it looks like I've figured out what to do with the Starghan. Time to rip!
I have a lot more in the Mint colorway than I do Duckie, so I decided to make just a thin yellow stripe every 5 rows. I like it so far - it's different, and doesn't look like the 70's Ripple afghan from my gramma's basement :) That's coming next, with all of the orangey/redy/peachy yarn donated from Bumpa's sister!
(All of my GVSU afghan squares are done, most ends woven in, just sitting there in a big stack watiting, patiently, to be put together. Ugh)
(Oh, and Sweet Dreams? Two strips are also patiently waiting in the box for me to make four more and stitch them together. Someday.)
