Attic 24 and
Little Tin Bird invited us to join their 'Ripple Along'. At the last count on the 'Flickr' group there were 167 folks all rippling away! I just couldn't resist over committing myself to a massive crochet project. The back of my sofa is crying out for this, so we can snuggle under and watch TV. I can see it now, me, my seven year old and the dog all fighting for a corner. My seven year old thinks it is already fab and likes to drape it around himself and the 15 year old said he would like it for his bed! I am delighted both boys have an appreciative eye for handmade hooky goodness. It is a bit of a Yarn Eating Monster and highly addictive to work on. I have tried a ripple pattern before and failed so I am rather chuffed to have mastered this. I am now chugging along quite nicely. It is a bit Bob Marley at the moment, but it isn't going to stay that way. I am having help from my seven year old 'Supervisor' when it comes to colour selection, so I can blame him!
I was actually going to say how much I liked your color palette, and how it was so different to Attic 24's :). Now I discover that it was either Bob Marley influenced or 7 year old influenced or both ;).
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous!! I love the bold colours!!! I haven't been able to master the ripple yet, but I am feeling inspired to try
ReplyDeleteAlmost all of the ladies I follow are joining in on this Ripple-A-Long! It's so interesting to see the different color schemes everyone is choosing :) If I had the yarn I wanted I would totally be joining in with all of you! Yours is coming along wonderfully and I'm glad your boys love it so much! That makes it all the more special.
