...or chocolate brown as the oddball stripe in my new ripple,
I finally chose green.
This green doesn't photograph well. It's actually quite a bit yellower than it appears here - more of a slime green, in fact. I am constantly amazed at how much yarn these afghans take. As a previously-non-crocheter, am I just unaware how little you get from one ball of yarn? Or do they really gobble yarn??
And I think I am finally running out of rippling steam. It's been an obsession for two months but my stamina is failing me :(
I think I can, I think I can...

DEFINATELY the right colour choice!! the green looks so much better than the other ones.
That green really makes it pop! Don't lose steam ... I'm a new crocheter too and I can't believe how much yarn it sucks up. Ah well, it's well worth it.
I love the colors. The greeen really looks good. Could you please tell me what pattern you are using.
Since lime green and pink are my favorite colors (in that order), I think the green is a wonderful choice. Just keep at it. You will be glad you did!
Thanks you guys for the confirmation that green was the best choice!! Patricia, I left a link for you in the comments of my last post - also an apology because I'm fudging, fudging, fudging, so mine may not look exactly like the pattern!!
i love the green! you totally made the right choice. normally would have picked the brown but this looks really great! what yarn are you using?
I believe that crocheting takes 1/3 more yarn per same project than knitting would...at least that's what I've heard and to be honest, I believe it! The yarn goes sooooooo quickly, doesn't it?
Thanks Kirsty I will check the link out. I don't think you are a hopeless crocheter, your afghans are beautiful. Lucky for me I can read patterns and probably can figure it out.I would love to see the picture of the afghan finished.
Great choice. This is the prettiest ripple I have seen so far!
I love the green! That looks fantastic, nice work.
Yup - looks like it just belongs. :D
I agree. The green looks fab!
I was a crocheter first, so I was surprised that knitting takes so much less yarn. LOL
YOU CAN DO IT!! I love it...looks like watermelon! :) Mmmmmmm....
Thanks so much!! Lindsey, I'm using an bog-standard 8 ply wool - Cleckheaton Country, which is a cheapish, easy to get brand in Australia. Except the hot pink which is something else (no labels left!).
Green!!! Yes!!! The colors are wonderful.
Yayy for green and pink! How unexpectedly delicious!
Love it! The green accent makes the whole thing look just gorgeous.
This makes me want to go out and find the colors and make one the same! I adore the green with your colors! Hmm. I'll have to think about a contrast color for this rose colored ripple.
