Christmas ripple done!

I made this for a Christmas present for a friend up north. I am washing it and will put it in a space bag, then at Christmas will mail it to her right in the space bag!
Its kind of fun and was very quick to make.
200 ripple stitches pattern-Granny Chevrons
Yarn: red and green solid-Caron Perfect Match
Variegated red/white/green- Red Heart Holiday yarn bought on ebay.

Christmas ripple-first repeat

Yes I did start a Christmas ripple. I plan on making a few for gifts so thought I might need to start now. I scoured the stores for holiday yarn and well....there is none. The lady in the yarn department at Walmart said the holiday yarns come in around September. So I got the multicolor red-white-green on Ebay and bought solid red and green Caron Perfect Match locally.

The red stripe in the photo looks a little orange, but it is not. Will post the finished product.

(Megan: thanks for your encouragement-I mastered the granny ripple pattern!)

Addendum to the finished ripple

I just wanted to share this: I just washed my purple ripple in cold water with Ivory Snow, on the delicate cycle, and fabric softener in the rinse. Then dried it on delicate low heat setting. OMG it is so soft and cuddly I just wanted to wrap up in it and nap! It turned out beautiful!
