I just started a new ripple right before Christmas. I made one for my mother 10 years ago. I did it in a solid color and that's what I'm doing again. My living room has a lot of different fabrics, so a solid looks best. I still really like the one I made for my mother. I'm surprised how nice a ripple looks in a solid. It's done with sc and dc, takes forever which is why I probably haven't done one it 10 years. Ripples and grannies are classics and always in style.

I'm going to start a ripple for myself & DH - imagine that - an afghan for us??!! :rofl:rofl It's the shaded blanket from Vannas color it beautiful. Getting started today:clap I'm sure posting my progress here will keep me motivated. Think it's going to take me a while - working full time & keeping up with my other projects. :lol

 

Now when do we ever find the time to do for ourselves?:rofl

great to have you here:cheer

 

well I am moving right along with my ripple. I have been able to get a few rows in each night. Looks like I will be finished by the first week of Feb. Love this DC.

 

Great job! keep on moving on:cheer

how many rows now?

 

I just finished this one, it measures 42/52 it is a lapghan that I donated to the hospital cemo unit...

 

oh wow that is so pretty! GREAT JOB:cheer:cheer

Hi everyone!

I'm just about to start a ripple afghan for ME, ME, ME! and I thought this CAL might get my little bottom in gear and inspire me to pick up the hook... unfortunately, I've just spent a veeeeeeerrrrrrrry pleasant hour reading all your posts and looking at your photos instead of actually doing any crochet :eek So you're already a bad influence :devil

yes it worked and nice colors! I like this:cheer are you doing in backloops only?

 

I am working on a ripple for my DH using scraps. I don't know how long it is going to be but it is 5 foot wide.

 

Ripples are always a great way to use up scraps:yes how many rows so far? looking forward to pics:clap

Sissie...yes I am working in back loops only, when I do a ripple, I like the ridges.

 

I got a few more rows completed last night. has been a really slow week for me, I will try to get another whole color pattern completed by Monday.

 

I have a question for everyone...do you weave your ends in as you go or do it at the end?

 

I was taught to crochet them in the stitches as I went, never realized people didnt do that. Until I saw my SIL doing a granny square blanket with all these ends sticking out...I thought wow, that is a sloppy looking until she mentioned weaving them in at the end...I think that would drive me nuts!!

 

Happy hooking everyone

Hey it worked...ok...blanket is DC, using I Love This Yarn in buttercup, white, spring ombre and a green. It will cover a queen size bed when finished.

Pretty. Great color combo.

 

 

I'm up to 85 rows on my scrap ripple & 13 rows on my mom's. I'll try to get pics tomorrow during daylight hours.

I am using Susan B's Easy Afghan pattern and since I had to decide what colors to use out of a mismatched stash.. lol nothing really went together but I happened to start with a maroon and a tan color so then I remembered I had some medium blue and voila! country time red white and blue colors! :hook

Hello all..I made good progress this weekend. I completed another 10 rows. It is working up really fast.

 

Leaflyn...my first afghan was a ripple, it is how I learned. I think it is perfect for a beginner, as it is so easy to stop in the middle of a row and pick it back up later. It will be addicting..have fun!!

I'm using that pattern too. I love the flow of it. And boy does it work up fast.

 

I've almost got rnd 1 of the edging done on my ripple. After I'm done with that I'm gonna start a cover for a round neck pillow for my dad. And then I'll probably start another ripple. Not sure of the colors yet though.

I haven't tried this one. I'm using Attic24's pattern. So easy. Your colors sound very pretty.

Do you mean you have less stitches or that it looks narrower?

 

I think I was confused.. but there should be six stitches between the the beginning and ends and the first peak (3 dc in ch) right? :think
