New and Old

Well, I started a BIG queen-size bedspread, oh, 2.5 years ago, my how time flies. I got it 1/3 done and realized there was No Way, so it went into a bag. I thought it would be okay for a nap-ghan, so i sewed the ends in. NOW, I know it must be crocheted back into the pattern from Crochet! May 2009 p. 52, they call Ripple Shells. It must be normal afghan sized instead of bizzarely long and narrow. Here it is, folded in half length-wise:



Meanwhile, among other things I made these reverse twins blankets for baby twins soon to arrive:

Kawaii Ripple Scarf

I don't know what it was that made me realize that I had not rippled in years, but I think it had been that long since I've actually checked out this blog and drawn inspiration from all the wonderful projects shown here.

My latest is a scarf that is also inspired by this Kawaii trend that i noticed on Etsy. That is, brightly colored, super girly, often sparkly accessories and what not.

(That's me modeling the scarf)

I made it using Red Heart yarn and a size N Susan Bates hook. I think the thing about ripples that makes them so easy for me to forget is the TIME that's needed to complete something like an afghan. But, with a large hook, small project, and WW yarn- I had this scarf done in a few hours.

It's as bright (if not brighter), but a bit cooler in color, as pictured here and will be listed in my Artfire Studio when I'm done editing the photos for it.

Where are all the ripple crocheters?

Not much action here anymore.... This blog used to be so active. I really miss checking here daily to see the new posts! If you are interested in belonging to a more active blog, I've started a new blog for ripple and granny crocheters. If you would like to join then please come and check it out! you will find it HERE!

My Fiesta Baby Ripple

Here's my latest ripple using Red Heart Strata for the variegated colors and Red Heart solids for the others. I wound up having to use the solid colors because I couldn't find any Strata for sale at the time......of course, Murhpy's Law kicked in and when I was almost finished, I saw it at Mary Maxim's online (at least I think that was where I saw it). After running it through the washer and dryer it's as soft as a lamb and I'm very pleased with it as I know a little one will be snug and warm when covered with this ripple made with love. Let me know what you think.

So Many Ripples!

It's been a long time since I've checked out the Ripplers, and I'm enjoying going back to see all the lovely projects!

I've done a couple of Ripples since I lasted posted, long long ago...

I finished a rainbow ripple for my daughter, out of Lion Brand wool (no pic yet, but she loves it, she says).

I'm now working on a ripple using Rowan Cashsoft DK--I'm very much enjoying the feel of the yarn, it's lovely and soft:




Rippling is still, after several years, a welcome respite from my knitting projects. So relaxing, so much fun, so many many possibilities!

It is finnished! (pfft...)

My rippled afghan was finnished today! I am so happy...and my little boy too, as this will be 'his' blanket...

I have loads of this lilac and purple yarn leftover. What shall I make with this?

As my other boys like a personal blanket too, I have stardet a white-lightbleu-darkblue one already... Yes, I guess you can say that I am addicted to the rippled afghans..

I wil keep you all updated with this rippled afghan too of cource.
