I am half tempted to put in a stripe of hot pink or some other obnoxiously bright color, and just wait to see what he says. I'd be willing to frog it, just for the reaction.mrswadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10804319491907497982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668884398846525478.post-43571209324124497812007-10-16T09:12:00.000-05:002007-10-16T09:12:00.000-05:00Leah, thank you so much.

Do the same at bottom ripple. I would also add a round or two of hdc around the whole thing. So, maybe try it this way--the only thing is that, because of the treble crochets, it's a little open-work looking. But it does fill in the ripple.<BR/><BR/>I love the idea of a Husband Ripple!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14061893047279652658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668884398846525478.post-79688063691014465402007-10-14T21:32:00.000-05:002007-10-14T21:32:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14061893047279652658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668884398846525478.post-69399890370617453602007-10-14T19:03:00.000-05:002007-10-14T19:03:00.000-05:00Look forward to seeing your black and grey ripple....Look forward to seeing your black and grey ripple.Susan @ Blackberry Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16422203856244038266noreply@blogger.com
