Ripple-me Senseless!

The weather here in SoCal has temporarily cooled off a bit so I managed to get in a few more rows on my Ripple Afghan.

This is the newest obsession project that I am working on from the Feb/March issue of Crochet Today. It is still small enough to fit in a plastic zipper bag and stuff into my purse. The single crochet ribbing at the bottom was pretty boring but after that, the crochet is a lot more fun! I changed the colors to ones I liked better, Tan, Natural and Spa Blue.

My yarn-snobbery has taken a beating what with the Caron Simply Brites afghan and now this vest out of Lustersheen. I'll take my Humble Pie a la mode, thank you.

Squeal!!

Hip Hip Hurray!!!!!! *jumps for joy* Sorry.
About a month and a half ago I put in a request at my local library that they get the 200 Ripple Afghan book, not actually expecting the to get it, or if they did that they wouldn't get it for some time. I got a call from the Library today! They bought one! And I get first borrowing of it!!! I am so excited I actually jumped up and down after I hung up the phone. I really can't afford one of my own, but at least I got the library to get one.
On to ripply goodness.
It has been a while since I posted, so I shall have to post before and current pictures.

This is before.

Everything but the light green and light yellow is Caron Simply Soft, the lt. yellow and lt. green are stash from a blanket I finished a LONG time ago.

This is current.

This is a close up of the ribby ripple. This take up soooo much yarn. The bright yellow is ONE skein of yarn. I am using a J hook for this one.

This is before. I have frogged this one down to the bright yellow.









This is current. I started a new ripple with the yellow I have been frogging, so I frog and crochet as I go. I am using a G hook for this one.

Thanks for putting up with me.
