Done!


My baby blanket is done, only a few days after my niece arrived. It wasn't my bad timing, she was 3 weeks early, but I did hope to have it ready. As it was, I sat in the waiting-room at the hospital working on it.

I'd love to start another one straight away; I'm sure I'll be back soon with more ripples!

It's all in DK machine-washable wool, done on a 4 mm hook, and I'm afraid I don't know what the pattern is officially called, as I found it in quite an old book, simply titled 'Ripple'.

Bigger...


Some progress on my ripple. I'm enjoying the variation in the red stripes: there are 2 rows for each colour, but only 1 for the red, which means that it's done in a different direction each time I come to it and pops out on different sides of the blanket each time.

Specs: DK wool ( Elle, I think, and Sirdar for the green/brown) and 4mm hook.
