It's wonderful! I have a question: Since you were using two strands, did you use two different colors for a few rows as you were switching to the second color?

Another beautiful ripple from you! I've had my eye on the MM Peaceful Pastel afghan for a while, with it being on my back burner to try, but have always steered away from the Baby Coordinates for some reason (oh yeah, I heard somewhere it doesn't hold up well with machine washing/drying... maybe because people have dried it on a hot setting, and it needs to be dried at a low temp). In any event, I've gotta try this one. How large did yours turn out?

:manyheart Thank you!:manyheart

 

Birdlady-I did use two strands of one color for a few round and then one strand of the old and one strand of the new for two rounds then two strands of the new color.

 

Debbie-This was my first time with BBC. I never really liked it because of the shiny strand and the "bendy" texture, but I like it much better now after seeing it worked up. It's really soft. I hope it holds up well. I'm estimating it's about 40" point to point. I lost my tape measure in the yarn pile, so it's a rough guess.:lol

this is a beautiful afghan! i just posted that i finally cleaned up my stash yarn and wanted to "use what i had on hand before i bought any more yarn" - famous last words, and i saw this. i've made one round ripple in the rainbow colors and loved doing it. the colors and blending on this one are gorgeous. i'm working on a baby blanket now but when i'm finished, i'll be buying the yarn to do this one. thanks for sharing and for all of the wonderful information on corrections and directions that you posted.

I'm in love with this blankie! It's for a friend at work who's expecting her first baby. She doesn't know if it's a boy or girl, but I think it will be a boy, so I tried not to use too much pink just in case I'm right.:lol It's done with Bernat Baby Coordinates in their pastel shades of yellow, pink, purple, blue & green in that order. I used 2 strands and a J hook, so it was super quick to make. I had a hard time capturing the true colors on film. It's much more "cotton-candy-ish" in person.:blush
