My rippleproject

I've only first learned to chrotchet resently. I'ts something I've wanted to learn for years, and this spring I jumped right into it, and with the help from other bloggers, I'm now well on my way.

The first projekt is this ripple. I'ts not qiute finished yet, BUT still I wanted to show it to the world. I'm so proud, and when it's done, a new one will be started. This time in more controlled colours. I'm thinking maby more dark and fit for the winter to come.


I'ts used cotton yarn, and i've been collecting it from all sorts of places. I'm amaced of how many diffrent shades there is to be found. :-)

An Aussie Rippler

Making crocheted ripple rugs runs in my family. My Oma made them, as does my mum. I own two ripple rugs which mum made, but I'd never made one until now.



I am travelling up for my nephew Hugo's first birthday on May 15, and at the last moment at lunchtime on Thursday 3 May I decided to make him a baby ripple blankie - not too big, not too small, not too heavy, easy to drag around for him and easy to wash for his parents. Unfortunately acrylic was my only choice for yarn, since there isn't that much variety at Lincraft, but I did choose the Patons Tasman 9 ply acrylic so the quality was there at least. I'm using a 4.5 mm hook.



I started the rug at 7.30 pm that night It has been so much fun over the last few days seeing how the rug develops with all the different colours.



I chose 11 different skeins. And it is actually soft! Never having crocheted with acrylic before I was little worried, but at least this rug can be usable and also fully washable.

By day 5 it is starting to look good.

I'm New Too!

Hmmmm. I have no idea what just happened to my post. It came up all funky and numbers and ampersands and stuff. That'll teach me to go foolin with the html code.

Anyway, what I said was, Hi, I'm new, I'm naughtydebbers' sister, I'm jealous cuz she's here and I'm not, yada yada yada.

Cut to the chase, here's the pseudo-ripple I finished most recently:
And here's the Salvation Army Store mystery yarn special I started yesterday.

I'm just happy to be here.
