After my mother passed away in 2001 my dad sent me all her yarn (in 13 boxes!). I wanted to use some of it to make myself a small afghan to put over the back of my chair and snuggle up under on cold days. The Unger Roly-Sport was the only yarn there was enough of - everything else was just one or two balls. But I'm glad she had plenty of the Roly-Sport because it's so soft and squishy. I wonder what she meant to do with it? I hope she'd be pleased with my choice.
Happy 2010 everybody! May all your rippley dreams come true. :-)

I'm sure she would be pleased that you used her yarn on such a gorgeous afghan! Great job!
I just love how looking at ripples make me feel. lovely.
Great colors and stripe pattern-- scrappy, yet organized, if you know what I mean. Happy New Year!
I'm sure that your mom would approve of your choice. It's lovely!
This is beautiful! And what a nice tribute to your mother.
I would envision that your Mom is smiling right now. How very pretty and snuggly looking. You did a great job.
WOW! What a gorgeous afghan. The border really gave it a finished look. Could you possibly share how you did the border?
Its Beautiful...
