The blanket is actually really cute. We're using brights (I chose hot pink and black- so punk rock) so they're cheery for sure! Despite the electric pink however, the stockinette simply puts me to sleep...so I started a new project to keep me sane when I'm about to throw my blanket across the room. A cabled capelet (found here). Mine's being made with some left over "Pearl Grey" Jiffy that I bought for a scarf for an ex. Needless to say he's not getting the damn scarf so I frogged it and now I've finally found a use for it! Huzzah!
Here's the pink and black punk rock/evil blanket- obviously knitted with love in every stitch (1/4 of the way done):
and here is the begining of the capelet (my first attempt at cables!):
