crazy blanket project (and things)

i've been working on a big granny square blanket:

omg camera >< for reals? in reality it's a very foresty green <.<;

now, this is a pretty terrible picture (my camera just hates all the things. i really should just use my husband's slr, but i feel bad filling it up with pictures of yarn and various other things, lol), but it is essentially going to be a checker pattern of a camo green/brown and then a deep fudge brown. suffice to say that it looks a lot better in person (very mossy/forest feeling. the green squares irl are a much deeper green and brown in areas, and yellow greenier in others - not as camo as i thought when i bought the yarn). it's really super chunky and soft yarn too so this thing is going to be so awesome. all the green squares are done and ready to go. halfway there!~

i'm also planning on making a big blanket with some variation of these squares:

this is my first real try at making multicolored granny squares

not quite sure how i'm going to do it. i think i'll experiment with all the colors until i find something i like =)

aside from that, i've been playing the myst series over. probably one of my favorite games of all time. a few weeks ago i saw the myst novels on my shelf and it got me in the mood to play (and read them too, lol). so far i've played myst, riven, exile and revelation and am partially through the offline part of uru. i'm having lots of fun with it =) i had never played anything further than the original myst when i was younger so it's nice to see what else the series has to offer.

it'll be a few weeks yet before i finish any of these projects so, if i don't post again before then, everyone have a great holiday =)
