Hi Everyone - I've really enjoyed seeing your ripple blankets so far, all of them are gorgeous!
I just wanted to pop in and introduce myself, my name is Keri and I blog over here. My yarn is rowan pure wool dk from here.
I ordered 14 balls to start, and I used the duvet cover below as my color inspiration for the blanket. The yarn layout is also inspired by Jane's pretty posings. I did pretty good on the colors, ordering them sight unseen- except for the two random balls at the top. Can you see the bright green and burgundy? What was I thinking!?!?! I think they'll be able to work themselves in somewhere, we'll see how it goes.
Did I mention I'm a total beginner at this crochet thing? I'm having a lot of fun learning and getting comfortable with it! =)

i like your colors! i'm using rowan pure wool dk as well. i ended up changing my color scheme a bit so i had to order more yarn. elann.com has pure wool dk for 40% off right now so if you do need more, that's a great place to get it.
i'm looking forward to seeing your progress :)
go with the bright green and purple there. that's half the fun of this rippling thing is throwing caution to the wind a bit.
Sounds like great yarn. Love the colors. You are off to a great start.
I like the bright green and purple. I think it's going to look great with the rest of your colors.
Lovely choices. I agree with the others...go with the green and purple. I think those "accent" colors will really make the afghan. For a beginner, you're awesome.
Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments!
And thank you also Amandasan, I had no idea Elann had it in stock now and for such a good price, I had to order more! =)
hi i'm also using pure wool dk - wasn't sure about spending more $$ on wool but if i'm going to invest this much time on a blanket i'd like to be able to machine wash it - there's no way i'm going to handwash a huge blanket!
