Okay, so I really can't do random, I know I'd just use up everything I like best and then be left with lots of rows of what I don't like as much. And I don't want to have to get more yarn; and I'm using a combination of unstrechy 100% cotton, springy 100% acrylic, and some cotton/acrylic mix, so I have to have them intermixed somewhat regularly. So I figured out about how many rows I can expect fron each yarn and cut a piece to represent each row. I kind of slapped them down as fast as I could and then did some swapping around to break up cotton blocks or acrylic blocks and color chunks. Then I taped them to this paper and am using this as a pattern for my randomness ;-)

This is what it looks like so far - the colors look wrong on my moniter, the blue is a periwinkle, the pink a peach, and the purple more of a lavender. . . but you get the idea.

Nothing but potential-

Fixin' to make one of those crochet ripple blankets that I've been seeing all over blogland. I think I finally figured out what the pattern is (no, I couldn't just wait to actually get the pattern book!) I started one and frogged it yesterday because I had a few rows where the pattern wasn't quite right yet and it was going to end up fitting a queen-sized bed and I just want it for a twin!
This blanket is supposed to be a stash-buster, but yesterday I just had to go get some more yarn because if I'm going to spend all this time on it I might as well have the exact colors I want, right? And Mamacatfish - if you are out there - Look! I bought *pink* yarn!
