I think I'm finished!

I initially planned to make it longer but it fits this bed just right!
I've only added a couple rows since last week's post, but I've been putting all the rest of it together. I picked up the bed skirt and mattress at a consignment sale and Dh and I built the frame for the bed yesterday. The bed skirt was an impulse buy, but it made it possible for me to just build a quick frame instead of buying a whole bed. I also love how the ripples of the ric rac imitate the ripples of the blanket.

I think she likes it!

my weekly update-

I'm pretty pleased with my progress because I managed to get several rows done despite being really busy. Here it is!

Just can't get enough-

Okay, so my real ripple blanket is getting to big for me to work on on-the-go, and too hot to work under during the day. I've added several rows but decided that I'm going to update that one weekly, so you will all just have to wait ;-)

I started a second blanket because I needed a travel project and because I've been itching to do something with this "Crazy daisy" yarn that I picked up on clearance and because I wanted to see how the ripple pattern turns out with a textured yarn. . . and yeah I have zero attention span.

I decided to make a doll blanket for my niece, but I'm really liking how this is turning out so I might just keep it.

I'm using 3 colors of crazy daisy and alternating them with two colors of cotton tots. I like the color combo and the cotton gives it stability and makes the fussy crazy daisy easier to work with. I'm only doing single rows of each and I think it has a nice chenille texture.

Ripples in Georgia-

Hi everyone! I too started my ripple blanket after seeing Jane's and Alicia's.
I'm using as much stash as possible, but most of my stash is textured or variegated and I wanted to have solid color stripes and let the pattern make the texture, so I had to get more yarn for this. I'm making this for my daughter(2 and a half) for the bed she doesn't have yet!
Here is what I started with:
I was so excited to get started that I couldn't wait to get the pattern from the book - and I don't follow instructions well - so I just kind of messed around with it and came up with what is probably something similar.
When I had a pattern that worked and my yarn I figured out approximately how many rows I could get from each color and cut a little piece representing each row. I have some 100% cotton, some cotton/acrylic blend, and some 100% cotton, so I had to be sure not to have too many rows of one kind next to each other. I just slapped the pieces of yarn down and sorted for yarn type and let the colors stay where they fell (mostly.)
Here is my color order:
And the blanket in progress:
