Just a quick update!

While I finished the first ripple blanket and it is now being enjoyed by my goddaughter. I couldn't help myself, I went and started another one. This time I am going to keep this for me (or my future children)


This time I am using:
- the Soft Waves pattern from 200 Ripple Stitch Patterns.
Yarn: Patons Canadiana and Patons Decor yarn

(These are the colors of my blanket)
and I am using a size H hook.

I am so addicted to Rippling it is not funny. Its to the point where my knitting is suffering. Any way I back to rippling.

Guess who has a finished Baby Ripple?

Me!!!! That's right. That Nor'Easter that hit up the North east including my hometown of New York was very conducive to finishing up this bad boy. It is so pretty, I almost want to keep it for my future babies, but no I am giving it to my goddaughter who is such a cutie pie.



My coworker helped me out by holding up so I could get a full picture. The only reason I brought it to work was to show her (she's a crocheter).

Here is a close up of the edging and tassels I did:



and a picture of the true color:



Specs on the Ripple:

Pattern: SusanB's Easy Ripple Afghan
Hook size: Clover Size F
Yarn: Combinations of Red Heart Soft Yarn, Dark Horse Fantasy Yarn, Cleckheaton 8ply yarn and 1 other that I can't remember.

All I did was cast on was a 139 stitches and went from there. I did 3 color repeats ( I was supposed to do 4, but then I think it would of been to long)

For the edging I did a sc of the first color I used in the afghan. ( I was going to do a sc of each color used in the blanket, but by the time I finished the first color I was done. So I just added tassels using all the colors in the blanket)

So there you have it. My first ever Ripple afghan, my first ever crochet FO as an adult. Now I am off to plan for my second Ripple, pattern will be out of 200 Ripple Stitch book

Hi I'm Tawana

I'm new to ripple along, in the sense that this is my first time posting but I have been lurking and leaving comments. All the different Ripples are so beautiful. I have been patiently waiting to be able to post, but since then I had done alot with my Ripple.



This was it a couple of weeks ago.(Oops, this was it before I frogged it because the cast on edge was too tight, I changed the order of some of the colors.) This is it several days ago:



Currently I am into the 3rd set of 4 repeats of the repeating color. This is going to be a baby carriage blanket. Well I am off to ripple some more and plan my next afghan.
