Homespun Ripple...

Homespun Ripple - Size K Bates hook
Susan B's Easy Ripple Pattern


Hey everyone. It's been a while since i've even worked on this ripple. I tend to have a relatively short attention span when it comes to a lot of things... and this ripple has kind of been cast off to the side a lot lately. Poor thing. It's so pretty. Why did I neglect you?

My birthday is next Saturday. What have I been asking for? Yarn. :) I want some pretty new yarn to make pretty things with. Who knows what it'll turn into.

Happily Rippling along...

Definitely one of my favorites of all the ripples I've seen. Love the colors and the way they look so rich together. happy Birthday! Hope your wishes come true!

Patricia: I had a pretty hard time starting out with it because it starts out kind of messy. You don't know where your stitches are, what direction they're going in. But I started this one with a chain using an N hook so it was nice and big, then jumped down to a K hook to start my dcs. Once you get that first row in and set, it gets easier the further you go. Don't give up! It comes out so pretty...

Margot: Thank you! It is one of my favorites too. I'll be sad to see it go to it's new home when it's done. I'll probably end up making myself one for the winter... But it sucks though... cuz its so expensive compared to the RH SS...
