Decision made...

I've decided to complete the blanket as is. I figured that I will need to add about 42 rows more in order for it to be a good size ~ it currently measures 291/2 x 15. I am considering two different options to add color. 1. border the blanket or 2. add ribbon. Not sure yet but I have managed to work 5 more rows today while listening to an audio book. I'll add a new pic soon.

I've another one in planning stage. I am still working out the colors that I have to choose from but I did take a look at the ripple generator ~ thats a great tool ~ to help me and I'll update as soon as I've decided.

Welcome to all the newbies and congrats to those who are progressing nicely. Beautiful, simply beautiful.

Have a great week!

Hello everyone,

My name is Dawn and I am new to the group. I joined for the love of crocheting and the opportunity to share that with others. I really like ripple patterns but haven't done very many. I've used a basic one in the past that I actually used more for scarves than making afghans. Now that I have joined, I went through my stash to see what was available to get started when I found this:

This is a baby blanket I started over 2yrs ago. Hmm, not really interesting and lacks color. :D I am hoping to get some advice from you ladies on how to get this going again. It currently has 30 completed rows but I got bored and never finished. I'd like to add more color but don't know where to begin. You see, I was originally planning to take it apart and use the yarn for something else but now I think I'd like to finish it but need some help. You can take a look at the stash pile I have put together for options but I need to know if I should continue where I am, adding in new color or should I remove some rows to add balance then the new color? Your help would be greatly appreciated. You can read the rest of my post and look at the yarn chosen here.

Thanks for a fun place to share and learn ripple patterns. I look forward to seeing everyone's progress. ;D
