I think I found it!

I can't help but feel so happy right now. For the longest time I have wondered what pattern my mother used on the rainbow ripple afghan I have so many fond memories of. Just today I was looking for Crochet pattern books in a thrift store near my work with one of the ladies I help out during the day, and found a pattern book from 1981 with several afghan patterns; One of which looks very close to the afghan I have wanted to try to recreate ever since I started crocheting.

What is the name of the pattern? Can't wait to see it.......I love those "Blasts from the past"!

I love "Eureka!" moments like that. I hope the pattern you found finally links you with the one you've been in search of for so long. Happy crocheting, Dawn!
