Lets Do A Round Ripple Together

[~Kel~]

[champygirl]

kotersmom-Very pretty rr. I like the varigated yarn and the black yarn you used.

 

LegalWoman17-Your afghans look great, I like the variety. Your very good with colors.

I'm back from my 2 week vacation and I did find time to crochet a round ripple (among other things). We went to AC Moore my second day in Florida, and I found a 1 pound bag of unknown yarn (no yarn name or fiber type). It was a blue and white twist, so I bought it. I had taken down some White 'I Love This Yarn' since I knew I couldn't get it down there and could use it as a filler.

 

I decided I would make a RR for my best friend's 4 year old grandson. He watched me in amazement as I was making it. Before he knew it was for him, I asked him how big to make it, and he held out his arms and said it needed to be that big. And that is how big I made it. I ran out of the blue and white twist on the last section, so that is why it is thinner. I didn't get to measure it, but I used almost 16 ounces of the twist and almost 7 ounces of the white. It is 30 rows. I used a size K hook. I didn't have room to lay it out flat.

That should be plenty of yarn. if you go to my blog and the post for aug 8th, 2007 you will see a light pink and verigated blaket. I can't remember the actual measurement of it but it is 6 rows of 6 and I think it was about 40-50 inches. i used a one pound pink and a 10 oz verigated in caron on the blanket. the bright pink and purple I used 2 7oz skeins of each on that one and i know it was bigger than the baby one. the one i made for my pastor I used 1# aran, 1.25# lavander, 1.5# of the dark plum and 15 oz of the monet and that one was about 90". Hope this helps and isn't to wordy.

 

HI! That does help a lot, thank you so much!! I'm making it rainbow, and I"m already finished with the red, orange, and almost yellow parts. I'm doing the rows in 8 red, 7 orange, 7 yellow, 6 green, 6 blue, and 5 purple. I think that might work to make them look even, even though they are different numbers. Just an idea. We'll see how it turns out. Thank you for your help! I'll post pictures when I can.

Another round ripple that i have been working on... It is double strand thick, and I am doing three rounds of each, and it is coming out beautifully! I have to run to the store to pick up more green to finish what has been started, and it looks like I will need another skein of blue and purple to finish! I love the look of the rainbow!

Legal Woman-wow great job on all those RR's. I have one going using the RHSS Starbright yarn that looks kind of similar. Welcome to the 'Ville.

 

Daiyzie-your ranibow RR looks amazing! Are you using Simply soft?

[champygirl]

DreamsOfYarn-Your rr is gorgeous, I like the varigated yarn you used. How many rrs have you done so far?

 

Dayzie-Your rr looks beautiful so far, can't wait to see it when its finished.

Thank you. He sure loves it and I am pleased with how it turned out.

I have completed 10 RR afghan's, 3 RR rugs, a RR doily, and a RR small table topper. I have 2 ghans and 1 rug in the works. It seems that everyone that sees them wants one, so I keep making them.

Dayzie - I love the colors of your RR

[Dayzie]

For sure SS brights!! I love that stuff. The colors, and the longer I work with this blanket, I am falling in love!

[LegalWoman17]

I am definitely addicted to these round ripples. Since I found the pattern, I just can't stop making them.

 

And thanks to everyone for the compliments on the pics I posted. You've all got me blushing.

 

I am currently working on a RR for myself -- what a novel idea !! It is in sage mary (a mix of dark plum and greens) with soft white and a solid dark plum. Will look very nice in my bedroom. And I am doing another RR in baby colors for a craft sale I hope to participate in during November of 2008. Just 14 months to go -- I gotta get busy. LOL LOL

 

Thanks again, everyone. Talk to you soon.

Dayzie, I love your RR! I thought about doing a 2 stranded one, and now I'm really wanting to do that! I'm doing a rainbow one too, but just one stranded. Looks like it'll come out beautiful! Can't wait to see more pictures

Everyone's RR's are just beautiful. I have a few projects I need to finish, then I can get back to the RR's I have to finish. I wish there were more hours in each day :lol

Yesterday, our almost-one-year-old granddaughter was visiting, and, as usual, I was crocheting when she and her mother (our daughter) came in. My granddaughter was carrying a blankie I had crocheted for her - her favorite.

 

I immediately put down what I was doing and went into my "stash" and started a small 9-pointed RR for her. This is the result, less than a day later:

 

 

It's small (30 inches across) - so she can carry it around if she wants. Her birthday party is tomorrow, so I'll wait until then to give it to her.

 

I had to share it here first, though. Made with J hook (6.00 MM), RHSS in Soft White, Pink, Dark Orchid.

[DreamsOfYarn]

Gene, that is a very pretty RR. :clap

 

What and awesome thing you did for her. I'm sure this will become her new favorite. What a sweetie you are.

 

I've never seen a pattern for a 9 point. Is this your own pattern?

[honey112]

What a cute story I know she will love it and be very suprised tomorrow when she gets it. I love the colors keep up the great work.

Thanks Mel.

 

The 9-pointed RR is the result of my asking in "Seeking Patterns". The pattern was supplied there.

 

We are Baha'is, and the 9-pointed star is our icon.

CrochetDad-Your rr is beautiful, your granddaughter will love it.

[champygirl]

I finally got my camera developed, so here are some pics of rrs I got done. They're are more pictures on the link in my siggy.

Detail of point/border:

 

 

Granddaughter likes to put her fingers in the corners, so in each corner, I did sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc to make a hole for her fingers. It doesn't show up as well as I thought it would, though.

[irikel]
