I made this RR for my friends new baby, Fara Mae. She ended up being premature 7 weeks, but she is growing like a champ now. I used RHSS in White, Light Pink, Shocking Pink and Hot Red. She has a red nursery. I have three more of these started. They are very addicting.

How cute! Great job!

Yes, they are addicting...in the Van Ghoh CAL we're doing them but working color fades and changes to give the design an "artsy" look.

Candy, nice job on your rr, love the colors.

 

That rr got me thinking, is it possible to use the rr pattern to do a tree skirt?

I am thinking you could. I was thinking if there were a way to open it up, like for a tree skirt that it would make a nice poncho as well. We will have to see what we can come up with.

I was actually thinking the same thing.... The one I'm working on is green and aran, and it made me think that blue and white would be a really pretty tree skirt....or even solid white, which would look like a snowflake.

 

The only idea I had was to make the center ring a little larger. I have an artificial tree, so I could easily put the stand together first, then place the ripple skirt over it, then insert the base of the tree. I don't have any idea how you would open it up, though.... Anyone else have a clue?

Let's see, I been thinking the same thing

 

How about instead of working in rounds, turn work on every row? Like on this one, if I am going to start on the 5th row, I would count the stitches and then chain that many and follow the pattern from there. Turning my work on every row. That way you can just wrap it around the tree bottom like a regular tree skirt..... Finish edges like you would a straight ripple? What do you think?

My Cotton round ripple is done

I made this one in Sugar N Cream yarn. The color is 'Swimming Pool'. I wasn't sure how to do this with just the variegated and white. As I went along, it finally came to me. Make each panel of variegated a little bigger. When it was about halfway done, I put it on the floor and called my DD into the room. I asked her what it reminded her of, and she said the ripples in a pool when someone throws a ball into it. BINGO! Just the look I wanted. This one ended up being about 68" point to point. I just love this one. Too bad I can't keep it. It is going to my sister/best friend. She doesn't know it yet. I will be taking it with me to Florida when I go visit her in August.

 

I took 2 pictures of this one to share...one with the flash and one without.

Great work, it's very pretty.

Here is my progress so far on my first RR. I am using some yarn my SIL gave me awhile back.

 

First, I love the colors!!! Second, I about DIED when I read that you are in Sierra Vista!!!!!! That is my home!!!!!! WOW! Amazing! So, how is the weather? Hotter and hotter by the second yet? Lets talk, girl!!

I've been following all the WONDERFUL round-ripples y'all have made.

Very INSPIRING!! 2 Years ago, I found a simple

Red Heart Pattern, from their booklet, "Fast and Fun." (See in the photo)

The pattern is named, "Merry-Go-Round-Blanket." I've not posted a picture here, but hope this one

of my first posting-a-pict.- attempt shows. Here's my latest RR, from that pattern, just started from some scraps for a brown leather sofa...

I love these ripples!

Love the colors Candy. That is going to be beautiful. Those RR's are addictive, be careful.

[LeslieG]

Your RR is stunning, the colors just pop out so pretty. THankyou for your photo

[kelro]

Thanks, I found a pattern online http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474976910272 and this is the one that I seemed to follow easily. I don't know about the edging on the pattern, seems a bit too hard LOL maybe I will just stick to something easier, although I do like the way it looks.

Thanks for the compliments everyone

 

I am already planning my next RR, you all have gotten me hooked

 

Mel, it is getting hot here. They are predicting over 100 degrees for the 4th. So you know we will be melting here in Sorry Vista. How long has it been since you were here?

[Minerva76]

Okay, I tried the tree skirt idea last night, turning at the end of the rows, instead of joining. I think it will work! I'm going to do a few more rows this evening, just so the points will be a little more visible, then I'll post some pics for you.

 

Everyone's round ripples are so lovely...I'm completely hooked, too. Unfortunately, most of my family seems to prefer the rectangular afghans.... *sigh* Oh, well. More for me!

[LeslieG]

Mindy that tree skirt idea is great. I'm going to do one when I get the endless WIP's done.

[Crochet Buffet]

Well, I'm late, but I'd like to toss my hook in the ring for this CAL!

 

After looking at all the BEAUTIFUL RR's here, I decided to use this as a wedding gift for my engaged friend!

Welcome to the RR crochet along

Thanks, SouthernJudy!

This project was less about the colors for me, and more about the ease of this particular pattern. It's rated "beginner!" Which I mostly am! And I hoped it's reference was useful to other beginners.
