2nd Ripple


P.S. Since I originally posted this, that ripple is no more. I frogged it all out and started over, and over, and over. Can’t seem to get a color combo I like, so I’m thinking of making one out of a solid color. Now to figure on what color. Maybe it’s not that I have a fear of color, maybe I’m just color challenged!


Finished the 1st, now on to something more colorful...sort of. Try as I will, no matter what I do, it always turns out more subtle. I think I have a fear of color...did you know there really is such a thing? I looked it up, it's called Chromophobia.

After finishing the 1st afghan, my fingers were bored! I put the 200 Ripple Patterns book on hold at the library and when it became available, I found the pics in the book like eye candy. So many colors and patterns!

I commend those of you who are just learning to crochet and are making the Soft Waves pattern. I kept losing my place and making mistakes. I need some "holes" in the ripples to keep me on track.

Sooooo, I'm using "Gary's Ripple" from the book and using an F hook, Caron Simply Soft yarns and some yarn from my stash.

Still loving all the pics you gals provide...many are getting so creative in displaying their art!

Progress report






Moving along and pleased with how it’s going. Working on it at night has it’s hazards as I had to frog two full rows when I realized I got a little too white happy and just kept going too far in one of the white areas. Hate those setbacks, but sort of have to laugh at myself at times like that.

Not sure how far along I am to being done yet as I'll be done when it just feels like it's right in length. Then I'll need to start another one!
