Liane's gorgeous baby ripple reminded me that I too had made one for my little girl, when she was a baby six years ago. I unearthed it:
It saw a lot of action, and any number of washings and dryings, and held up surprisingly well. I used a single crochet for the border, which I think I'll do for this one. I'm progressing along on the new one:

Your ripples are all looking so great! I love this blog!

My husband was looking over my shoulder when I was reading your entry and then went into the other room to play "Ripple" from "American Beauty." He said he thinks it's the best song on the album.
The colours here are GORGEOUS. Wow - love it!
your colours are beautiful. And I love your ripple pattern, too. Where did it come from and what's it called? Or have you posted that earlier and I've missed it?
What yarn did you use for the baby blanket? Those colors are great!
I love your current (adult!) ripple. Beautiful.
Hi all--just to answer the questions--I'm using "soft waves" from "200 Ripple Stitch Patterns" by Jan Eaton.
