This is the scrap yarn blanket. It's wide enough to cover a king-size bed, but really only a couple (few?) feet tall. Long. You get the picture. I love how two abutting colors can clash horribly, but they all just blend into the general squalor, so you don't even notice how hideous they are. I know it's going to take forever to finish, and I know that I can't possibly have enough scrap yarn, but I'll just buy more at thrift stores, and continue until I have a beautiful schmorgasbord (sp?) of color. It's very warm so far.

The entire thing is made of simple single-crochet stitches (because they're sturdy and familiar, and I didn't want to distract anyone from the beautiful colors). I have no idea how many stitches across it is, as I just don't like counting. I highly recommend this project to anyone who has Tivo, as it can become to easy to only watch TV, and not multitask.

P.S. Interesting fact: So far, all of my post labels start with a "C." I don't know why; it certainly wasn't planned. Hopefully my creativity will branch into the other letters of the alphabet.

And by the way, everyone out there must read "Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life." I only remember that the author's name is Amy, or something similar. But it's just great. I'm reading at the bookstore now, because I don't have the balls to spend the fifteen or so bucks.
