Judy are you going to do a zebra ripple as well. I have bright pink here that would look great with it. Might start it tomorrow.

Not yet...want to get a start on the purples wave ripple first. I have some variegated so I'll be putting the colors together as I go - like Ines has with her gorgeous ripple.

I love the lime with the zebra...hot pink, and red, too - but even I'm not wierd enough to combine all those colors:eek

 

Another one to put on my short WIM list.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Aww my poor Tabby :hug Which blue in the Vanna's was it? I have almost an entire skein except for a few feet of the Dusky Blue left. Was that the one or was it the lighter one? If it's the Dusky Blue I'll send you the rest of this skein tomorrow

 

Cara~It is the lighter blue one but thank you for trying to help. I think i'm going to just head to the LYS tonight & ask her to order it. It seems alot easier then trying to get to Joann's.

You could always do a RR with Zebra, Hot Pink and Lime Green....alternate the pink and green bands...

I may try that later on :lol

[Gardener]

OK Ladies..you all are a bad influence on me :lol

I said I wouldn't start any more RR's until I got some done, but all the talk about hot pink and/or lime green with the zebra got to me. I have some lime green and hot pink (the lime green was handy so that is what I grabbed), so I just worked up 9 rows of a RR.

 

The flash washed it out a little, but you can get a pretty good idea what it will look like. I really like it

I really like this!!

[DreamsOfYarn]

OK Judy, you really are a bad influence on me :lol:lol :hug

 

I grabbed the test Lime Zebra RR and added 2 rows of Hot Pink and 1 row of Zebra. Here is the "Test Lime Pink Zebra RR:

I just found my next ME RR :yes

[Aussie]

Mel all I can say is WOW. I love it. I have pink but not that bright a pink, unless I use my caron ss brites with it. Hmm now there is a thought. A ripple with all the brites colors I have.

I knew I'd like the zebra with the green and pink. I made my DD a RR with Lime Green, Hot Pink and White. We call it her 'Watermelon' RR. Here is a pic of that one.

Sorry I'm posting pics of stuff that isn't for ME, but thought I'd give all of you creative ladies a peak at a few things. Might give you ideas

[judianne]

Who'd of thunk it! I NEVER would have thought the 2 bright colors would look so great like that!! Is this with 1 strand of yarn and ...mabe an H hook?

It is one strand and I used a K Hook. Since this is a test, I figured a big hook would make it go a little faster

 

For the watermelon I used a H Hook. I won't do that again. It took forever. But she wanted it a tighter stitch.

[forines13]

Hi to all. The ripples have multipled since I was on here!!! All so beautiful. Love LOVE the Watermelon one, Mel. I would really love that one for ME.

Yesterday was a productive day but alas not on crocheting. I built a set of shelves for my school reference books as I sometimes spend a lot of needless time searching for that book or this book . I make it sound as though I took a capentry course overnight. No, it was one of those pre-essemble jobs but it took me the part of an hour to get it together. I then filled it before I could blink.

 

This morning I am watching old movies and attempting to crochet. I have frogged one line 3 times. It happens to the best of us. My crochet hook is also not behaving as the humidity is slowing down my progress:(.

 

I have 20 or so rows on my Wave and about half more of my Granny's Garden to go but I am about to give in to temptation and start a RR. I will probably make a baby theme one as my cousin who is in her mid-40s has had her first baby, a little girl, Nicole.

DD and I sure are glad to see our idea come to life!

[DreamsOfYarn]

DD and I sure are glad to see our idea come to life!

 

Thanks for posting about the lime green and hot pink.

I'm glad I had the yarn here to work it up a little so everyone could see what the colors you mentioned looked like with the zebra.

I have put it away, because I really can't have anymore RR's going right now. Plus since it was a test, the back looks awful. I didn't cut any of the yarn so I can use the Zebra if I run short.

 

I have a few more colors I'm going to try using with the zebra after the holidays or when all the RR's are done, whichever comes first.

[HappyOldCro]

How in the world did you do that so fast!?! It looks great!

 

Now you know why I call her "Speedy",

Love it!!! you are the Queen of RR's in my book.

 

Ines: That is a very pretty ripple, and the colors are really falling in place just as if you did plan it.

[Aussie]

Carol, Mel sure is speedy.

 

Mel I cant stand it anymore, I have got my zebra yarn and my caron brites out and going to make one. I will see how it looks, I will post a pic tonight.

[Krystal16]

Oh, Wendy - Zebra and Brites! Sounds wonderful!

[forines13]

Thank you Carol. I am sooooo close to the end. This is when I fall off the fence and start another one:D

 

Wendy, Good morning. We have a weak Cyclone up north so the day here is wet and miserable. The humidity is incredible ... I do not like it at all.

 

Like you I started a RR this morning and it is not a stunner at the moment. I wanted to make it for a baby so I chose colours that I had at home and that I deemed to be suitable. At the moment it does not sing to me .... I will try and zing it a bit

[Aussie]

Ines, we have it so hot here, but I think high humidity would be worse, try and stay cool. As for RR's its hard to keep going with one if your not liking the colors. I hope you can fix it.

Hi everyone, sorry I did not post a progress picture of my ripple ghan but I only did 6 more row since last week. It has been a difficult week for me for my husband's aide had an accident so I did not have anyone to help me take care of my paralized husband but me also I had my infant grandson to take care of during the day, therefore I was too tired to crochet. Everyones Me project is awesome and I especially like that zeba print, I never seen that in RHSS before. So that is what been happening in my life lately. Hugs to you all

[HappyOldCro]

You have to hang in there....

sorry that you've had a bad week. Hope next week is much better. Sending hugs.

[DreamsOfYarn]

Cheeria, I'm so sorry to hear about your difficult and exhausting week. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. :hug

 

 

Ladies, it is time for me to call it a night. I have to be up at 3:30 AM. My work day starts at 5:00, and it takes me a while to get up and going in the morning. These old bones take a while to get moving.

 

Have a good night everyone, and keep the hooks flying!!

 

[Misa]

G'night Mel

 

Cheeria - Oh you poor dear what a week! Hope next week is better

[Aussie]
