I have a few ripples in the works, but I'll post about this one first. My hubby's coworker is having a little girl in November, which means... Yeah! I get to make a PINK ripple blankie! I love pink, but all my friends and family that have had little ones lately have had adorable boys, so I'm totally excited to get to use girlie colors for once :) Here's the progress with just over 2 color repeats done...
I'm using Caron Simply Soft in Watermelon, Soft Pink and White. The pattern is from Jan Eaton's 200 Ripple Stitches, #16 "Pink Ripple". I think I like it :)

pretty! i love the gentle curves you've used. i see you skip five times for the decreases, but i can't quite tell if you're increasing (two in each one crochet stitch) five times as well or seven times.
Lovely colors!
It's actually 6 times... The pattern is pretty much 2 dc in each of 6 stitches, [skip next stitch, 1 dc in next stich] 5 times, skip next stitch and then repeat.
Lovely!
I have a question for you:
tea123How many stitches did you cast on for a baby ripple afghan? I keep reading of folks feeling their ripple afghans are not wide enough and don't want to experience that myself when I begin a baby sized ripple.
Thanks,
Denise
I cast on 104 and it's not quite 3 feet wide, I think if I ever do this pattern again I'll do one more repeat, for a total of 121 beginning chains and then it would probably be about 3 feet wide, which i think would be nicer... but, like my momma pointed out, the less wide size blankie is nice for a car seat or stroller, so i decided not to frog this one and just kept going :)
I LOVE it!
Very pretty...lucky baby!
So pretty!!
