I'm almost back!!!

Howdy ripplers!

I'm about halfway back from vacation. Currently fresh off the plane and freezing my tuckus off in Wisconsin. This snow thing is quite a shock once one is used to the balmy 80s gulf breezes in Tampa.

I'm taking a mo' on the in-laws' computer to catch up before we drive yet further north tomorrow. You're all looking great. It's so neat to scroll down through it all. Everyone has such a unique project. I want to start over and over and over again...walking in so many footsteps. I will so never have the $$ to make everything I want to!

Willl post more in the next few days...have some "ripples" of a wetter sort to share with you all, and I so want to get back to my blankets...I can totally face starting the round one again and am ready to roll with the serially frogged one too. I think it's just meant to be more patternish than random, and that's okie dokie. No sense in fighting what it wants to be, huh?

Do me a favor ripplers...if you've seen any comments from newbies wanting to join lurking round bout, let me know. I had for some reason thought I'd be having time to check regularly, but now it's quite the task, and I soooooo don't want to miss anyone!!!

Thanks, and will get back to you soonest! Dawn

I'm Ripplin' A'ghan !

When I caught wind of the Ripple Afghan-along I couldn't resist. So I began a multi-colored one a few weeks ago...photos can be found at my blog. I have put that one aside for now as I thought I'd make one for my daughter for her wedding shower. I am using Plymouth Encore as I *know* she will end up machine washing it at some point. The Encore is not too bad for an acrylic, in fact, kinda nice.
I have chosen 9 colors and have just completed the first repeat of two rows each color. It is 58" wide and 13" long at this point. Now my question is this, should I continue on with the same color repeats or should I randomly choose the order????
I love all the Ripples on this blog , they are all very inspiring!!

Maven's Frog ripple

I don't think Maven ever took a picture of her ripple. So I thought I should before I get too far into the frogging process. **please excuse the blankets on top of the ripple.. my daughter thought she should add something to the picture**

I've also figured out that some yans can not or should not be frogged. Some are just impossible to frog in one piece. What has been everyone else's experience with frogging yarns and which ones are not the best for froggin?

Ripple are forming!

I've been working on this for about 2 weeks and thought it was time for a post. Here is my blanket so far:

I switched to Caron Simply Soft Brites because of Oiyi's blanket, and I love it! I'm using all 9 colors (Watermelon, Papaya, Mango, Lemonade, Limeade, Blue Mint, Berry Mint, Grape, Rose Violet) and a size H/8 (5mm) hook in the soft waves ripple pattern. I decided to go randomly, but haven't really gotten far enough to see the randomness.

More ramblings can be found here.

Maven... I got your box today

Now I totally understand why you could not frog this beautiful blanket. I about wanted to cry thinking about it once I saw it. But since it was our agreement, I shall frog away. I already have a wonderful idea for the yarn... the browns at least... I will keep you updated..
