Wow Emily -

 

Your ripple looks wonderful :woo! How long did it take to make & what are the final measurements?? Also, for us "newbies", can you tell us what type & how much yarn it took to make?

WOW...thanks for all the compliments. I don't know the measurements...I never even thought to measure it. I used an L hook and chained 230. I used Red Heart Super Saver and two skeins of each shade blue & black. I still have some light blue and navy blue left over. It took me about 2 months to do. I thought it would go alot quicker but it didn't. I am really happy with the way it turned out. One Christmas present down!!! 5 to go!

then I had to go to Michael's the other day to return something and my 6 yr old son asked me to make him a blanket :D so I let him pick his colors and of course had to start it that night...

:D thank you...I do really like the harlequin stitch...so having that and a ripple to work on...is wonderful! Will probably finish my son's before I get back to that one though...it's not everyday that your 6 yr. old boy asks him mommy to make him something :D. So far we have a thumbs up from him on the progress...he's so funny!

Wow, love the harlequin pattern! I had to laugh when you said it wasn't every day your little boy asks you to make him something. My "little" guys are 8 & 12 (oh excuse me....almost 13 :eek) and they have seen how nice my ripple is going and have asked me to make them both one....but in more "manly" colors :wink.

 

One has requested Red, Black & White. While the other has asked for either Black, Royal Blue & White or Black, Gray & White.

 

The one I am working on now looks like its gonna be huge 58" wide x probably 70" long so it may be a while before I start another. I'm not very good at working on two things at once. If I start something else, I seem to never get the other one done. So they may need to wait a while.... or I may just make them both a throw size one for Christmas (hey, I may be able to get them both done plus the main one). Considering we have our house up for sale, are looking at new homes, have to pack. etc., etc. 3 crocheted gifts for Christmas this year may be all I can handle.

RR is being made with RH baby econo, Baby Ripple is being made with RH soft baby, and my Monster Ripple Im using Pound of Love.

I don't think I posted my finished pics of the 9 point RR I was working on. I used my pink and yellow scrap yarns to make it and it turned out huge. I made it for my friends 20 month old baby girl Lailey. Okay here are the pics:

ScrapRipple1.jpg

here is Lailey with her RR you can see that it is pretty big:

LaileyRR1.jpg

I finally got her to look at me and stand still for this one:

LaileyRR4.jpg

and I just had to add this one in:

LaileyRR6.jpg

I posted this in the Babies and Children Show and Tell but I also thought about adding it here to. It is 57" across and 37 rows made with a I hook. Lailey would not let anyone take it from her and if you tried she would say "No!" or "Stop!" and b/c it's so big she has to drag it lol. Now my god daughter's Lucy(4) wants one in purple, Sierra(7) wants one in pink and Carissa(14) wants a rainbow colored one so I guess I got my hands full lol. Lucy get's hers first b/c her 5th birthday is next month and it will be huge lol.

Hi, I was wondering if it's okay to jump in and join. I have started a ripple for my 9-year-old nephew. It's in orange and blue (he wanted to match his bedroom). I have about 18 rows done. I'll post a pic in the next couple of days. Also, I love this harlequin. Could you tell me where you got the pattern?

welcome...can't wait to see a pic. The original pattern I got off of a Caron simply soft leaflet...I have modified it a little bit to my liking....but it is basically that pattern. I think I got it at wal-mart!

 

 

Thank you, I'll go looking for it.
