Hello!  I am new around here, but I have been lurking for quite some time.  Now that I have been officially made part of the group, I thought I would share my two ripple afghans.  The first one is in off-white, medium green, and dark forest green for my 10 year old son to use on his bed.

 This is a closeup of the edge.  It shows the colors a little bit better.  This one was made with Susan B's easy pattern with two strands of worsted yarn held together throughout and a size N hook.  The yarns were various cheap-o stuff that I could find at Wal-Mart, nothing fancy, but the blanket turned out warm and soft anyway.  My kiddo loves it and won't sleep without it, even in summertime.

 This is a scrap one that I made as a chair throw.  We always seem to need blankets and such to lay under.  I used scraps of various and sundry left overs with black ripples between.  The black yarn is the only yarn I bought for this purpose.  It is Red Heart Super Saver in the gigantic skein.  I finished it off with black tassels at the points on both ends.  I only wish it had been a bit wider.  Live and learn!

 Thanks so much for taking a look at my ripples!  I have truly enjoyed seeing pictures of all of yours!

Hi,and welcome! I love the ripples! Especially the one for your son! Beautiful work!
Hello! You have two very nice ripples. I especially like your sons with the black worked in the altenate rows. Kinda makes the other colors pop.
Those are absolutely beautiful!
Oh, this is such a lovely ripple!
