I have the rhythm.

My afghan is humming along now. My son picked the Regatta pattern from Ripple Stitch Patterns, as well as the colors, I wanted him to pick a random pattern as well. I had bits of yarn for him to arrange and tape across a piece of paper. Being the First Grade Mathematician that he is, he created a very clear pattern to repeat. I tried to explain random to him but he was having none of it.
A nice winter storm is beginning and I am looking forward to a weekend of rippling.

Joining in

I have been trying and trying to start a ripple and been having trouble, I just can't get the rhythm. I wish the pattern I was following had a chart, I love the charts. Anyway, came on line for some help and found this blog. So cool.

My Mom crocheted and knitted her way through most winters. When one of her children wanted a new blanket she would give us her crochet pattern book and ask what color we wanted. I can't do it that way, I just can't. Neon orange, my Mom once made a neon orange afghan. So, I asked Adam to pick, from my stash, colors that matched with this material. (There are no neon colors in my stash.) I also asked him to pick a pattern. He choose one that looks like waves which will work well with all the different colors.

I think I am going to switch to the lovely soft wave that so many in the blog have crocheted. Hopefully I can get the rhythm down quickly.
