Charity along Blankets

[topperarnold]

I can't remember if it was here or somewhere else , but a "round ripple" was mentioned. Is that an internet pattern? Sounds very cool to me and I would like to give it a try.

^Scroll up just a little to Natalie's next to last post, she posted a link to the star blanket everyone's doing.

The star pattern is great...

 

There's also this one for a more round ripple, Ro and several others have done this one before...

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Natalie I love that purple and the stitch is really pretty too.Thanks for posting the link to the other blanket too I may have to try that one.

[natalie058]

I finsihed up the purple blankie and will try to mail it out next week - look at this post for pictures.

thank yoiu for the round ripple link. I feel like Lucy on the Charilie Brown Christmas special. After Schroeder goes through all the versions of Jingle bells and he gets the one she likes "THAT'S IT!!!!"

I finished 1 more star blanket today, and will start another when I get back downstairs away from the computer That makes 3 star blankets and 1 big 36X36 crazy blanket all for shelter animals.My goal is at least 10 for shelters and then may do some for another charity.

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

I'm a woman on a mission I made yet another star afghan:hook I'm determined to get 10 blankets done and I can then relax.Now have 5 done I'm measuring my star afghan from 1 tip to the 2 skipped dc spot. If I measure from tip to tip they're too small and from side to side too big.I may make a wacky color round ripple next just for a switch.

[Seneca and Scooch]

You go girl!!!!!

 

You can do it! :cheer

Thanks Coralie I bought some pretty colors of red heart to add to all the drab colors I have in my stash. It seems most of what I had was tan me thinks I had teddy bears on the brain

[Ro]

oh, how i love making that round ripple! it takes awhile if you make it big cause it's not an open weave but it's so worth it the results are so cool. i can't wait to start on another one in colors like the sunshine

 

want to try one of those stars too...maybe might start that one today! but i already have two other blankies on the hooks i should finish those first...lol

 

hugs!

I started a round ripple just to frog it. It was curling up bad. I started a star and love it!!! Anyone else have trouble with round ripple?

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Sharon I'm on about the 14th row and no curling but I was having alot of curling at first. I realized that I was probably needing to skip a stitch in one of the first few rws. The instructions got me a little confused too but now it's going good. Try doing this on Rw 3 * 1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc skip next stitch* repeat around. Hope that helps.

[Sharon]

I feel like such a dope. Every round ripple I see is so perfect!!

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Oh Sharon it's not you obviously the instructions are a little confusing. Not to offend the designer. The way I did it made it go along good it's not curling at all.Come on Sharon you can do it

[Sharon]

I found this quote on an old post:

 

 

It's called Round Ripple Baby Afghan. The error is in round 3. The * should be before the "skip 1 st" not after it. Then it works. Otherwise, it is really a mess. )

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Yep that's what I did. Told you it was the pattern not you:hug

[Sharon]

About how many ounces of yarn is good for a star afghan? How about a round ripple?

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Depends on what size you're making. I made the stars 24 x24 from one tip to the skip 2 dc spot and it took 6 oz. I'm using stash so I can't say for sure but I use 2 colors and it uses about half of a 6 oz skein. The round ripple about the same.I just finished the round one and it is so worth trying love the results.

[Sharon]

I am on my 5th ball of cotton tots. Is that about right then?

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Sharon I don't know about Cotton tots but aren't they about 1.5 or 2 ounces I'm using red heart since they're for animal shelters.Seems like your using alot but then don't know how big it is. I know with the one I made for my dd I used a ton of yarn.I'm sorry I can't answer your question exactly. Probably was no help at all:blink

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Thought I'd add a pic of the round ripple.I've started another 1 today.Again forgive the colors aren't the greatest but I don't think the critters will mind.

 

 

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Well obviously I'm bored and obsessing but I've completed another round ripple and have allready started another. I'm gonna make this one a little bigger.

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

1 more made, another round ripple in black w/blue green variegated. I have 2 more to go to meet my goal.
