I'm loving this ripple blanket! And surprisingly, I'm loving the dk weight yarn and the small hook too. I've always been afraid of using the smaller yarn and hook because I thought it would be so much more work and take so much more time. But if it is either of those things, I'm not noticing it. It's just fun choosing which color should come next, and it feels so delicate compared to the cushy thicker worsted weight yarn I'm accustomed to.
This made me think about finally making something like this with the Snowflake yarn I have stockpiled. It would work perfectly with this pattern.
But I shall not get ahead of myself this time. I'm just enjoying this one. Be in the moment, Pammy Sue!

God I just love this blanket, but like you I have way too many things on the go and will try to finish some before i have a go at this.....maybe! x
This is really nice. I love the pattern and you have chosen beautiful colors. You are like me; just as soon as I start something another 8 projects pop up in my head! Can't wait to see your finished project!
OOO I love it..I am rolling my eyes cause I am thinking I want to do it now tooo....LOL...Did you just make up the pattern you crafty girl?!
It's beautiful!
Pammy, I loved working with the DK yarn too. I didn't think I would, but I loved it, and the finished product!!! Your ripple is looking great!!!!!
Beautiful! Love you choice of colors!!
Oh Pam, it's lovely. I love the colors you are using.
This blanket is beautiful! When I got my Stylecraft pack I was also worried about how much finer it was than I'd expected - but it works into a beautiful fabric, doesn't it? Love it! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
You're doing a great job on the blanket - great colours. The most commonly used yarn here in Australia is 8ply which is the same as DK or your sportsweight. I'm always amazed at how thick your ww is and can't imagine using it for baby wear. Guess its what you get used to though and WW would work up a bit quicker I imagine. Looking forward to more progress pics. xoxox
I absolutely LOVE the white crocheted candle cover on the homepage of your blog. What can I do to bribe you to post that pattern or email it to me at lisa.moris@gmail.com?
Thanks!
Lisa
That looks amazing. I might have to put that on my to do list :)
I can see why you are making this. There are just too many pretties out there isn't there?
Susanne :)
Love the blanket. Could you please tell me where neicee found the pattern for the garage sale afghan that she found. She said you had helped her find it. Jean
Jean, the pattern she is talking about is the Ice Cream Cone Afghan here: http://dbriese.blogspot.com/2012/06/happy-fridaypattern-search.html
The title of her blog where she says the pattern is found is about the ice cream afghan in the post right before that one, not the afghan she found in a garage sale. Send me an email if you want that one...pammysue8 (at) gmail (dot) com, no spaces.
Love your color flow on this. And nope....no eye rolling here dear! I'm trying to catch up a bit on some blogs while sucking up glorious AC. :o) xoxoxo
Oh your ripple blanket looks so wonderful! I love the colors you have been choosing, so so much!!!
