I am making an afghan!

I've been working on a ripple afghan for a little while now, so I decided to join the no-end-in-sight ripple-along. Unfortunately, I've just undergone some surgery on my hand, so I have to either put the rippling on hold...

...or learn to crochet one-handed.

I'm working with some no-name cotton blend yarn I found in Chinatown. The colors reminded me of maple flowers, and the pattern recalls the tree-covered hills around my parent's house. As the project is coming together, the ripples are giving off a great seventies vibe - I'm thinking of finishing with a fringe of macramé owls. How fun would that be?
