I haven't posted about my progress since I had only three stripes, and now I have 14! When I made that last post, I only had three colors (and I was sure I hadn't bought enough yarn). Now I have 8 colors, and two skeins of several of them, so I hope I won't run low. Although I do kind of wish I had started out with a larger hook -- I'm using an I; it was the largest I had -- so that it might be a little bit lighter and drapier. Though I'm certain I'll appreciate the thick warm cosiness of this dense fabric, come January!

Progressing on the ripple!
Well, it seems that it takes me about an hour per row, so my ripple is going slowly. I don't know if I'm slow or if that's about par, but I kinda wish I could go faster! Oh well. It helps that I recently got addicted to a new TV show and got the DVDs, so now I have an excuse to camp out in front of the TV for 4 hours at a time. :)

I'm using G (I think, it's 4 mm in diameter). I would have liked to use a thicker hook but there was only one kind of thick cotton yarn at the shop and the colors were drab. It does seem to take forever, I take about an hour per row too.
I love the colors your using! They really pop nicely!
Bright and cheerful, very pretty! I'm using an F hook, and Peaches & Cream cotton for my blanket, am loving the way it feels, and I like the way it is after shrinking!
Yours is gorgeous, keep going!
Which show?
