Going on behind the scenes...

This is coming along nicely. In real life, the yarn's a much deeper, richer colour than it looks here.

I've finished crocheting another ripple blanket - this one's fairly small, just big enough to chuck over my knees when it gets chilly (real winter chilly, not chilly-for-June). Look at all those ends that still need sewing in!

I looked, I resisted, I looked again and couldn't resist any longer. My favourite yarn in my favourite colour; now sadly discontinued by Jaeger. This came from Cucumberpatch, who still have stocks of Extra Fine Merino DK at a very good price.
