Ripple Journey - The beginnings

Hello my lovely friends!

A good Monday morning to all of you and a special one to all my new friends whom i have met thru the "Grow Your Blog" Party! What as awesome event hosted by 2Bags Full. You can find more info on my sidebar Party Button. I am having so much fun visiting new blogs and meeting fellow crafters!

Ok, everyone is familiar with lovely Lucy of Attic24. Familiar is a stupid word actually..Awed, inspired and always looking forward to her ramblings and her lovely colorful peeps and yarn world. I have tried many times to look at her ripple blankets and then look away. Looking away.... But could not resist the temptation for a long time... Finally took the plunge when i saw her Interlocking Color Ripple Ta-daah. What a mesmerizing combination and explosion of colors. The interlocking ripples did me in, caught me unawares and i scummed.

 My new pack of StyleCraft yarn! This time the blanket is a boy's one and i so regretfully passed over all the lovely colors and chose this pack. Blue is such a color - you either love it or hate it. I have always hated it as my school uniform was in blue. Every single day , except Sundays, i used to wear blue. So i can never really pick any blue dress..For a while i used to not even wear blue denims...he he! Having a boy changed that and now i have come to at-least respect the color..if not Love it..you know what i mean...



 I started on my new adventure with 17 ripples. ie 17 * 14 + 3 = a foundation chain of 241. Approximately 60" in width. Should be good enough for a single bed and that's what it is for!
 As i said, i have some to respect blues especially when these adorable shoes for my little man comes in that shade :)


 

Can you see the interlocking ripples. I have done 4 complete colors as of now. Its a total relaxing project, stitch after stitch, ripple after ripple...

LOVE IT!

What are you guys hooking/crafting today?

Love to hear from you as always..

    Very pretty colors! You are becoming a blanket expert now :)
    The ripples are looking nice. I made my iPad cover with ripples and it is fun to make :)

    Good choice of colours for the little man. Lucy's projects are so tempting no? I don't think I have the patience for a blanket. It is your little ones who keep you motivated. :)
    Love

    it's a lovely beginning, quite tempting actually! I know what you mean about blue, it was my uniform too and I don't remember wearing blue for quite a while! Heather x

    It's going to be beautiful! I have done three of the Neat Ripples, and my fingers are itching for another one! Your colours are lovely for a boy.

    You see I had navy as my school uniform and still love it, and I love blues but had 3 girls but dressed them in primary coloured clothes and blues as I really am not a soft pink sort of a person! I totally love your colour combos, all beachy, I love interlocking ripple as the colours fade in and out so beautifully. Can't wait to see your progress. Fiona x

      Yes Fiona, that interlocking ripples is very good pattern. I loved your ripple too and the way it brightens any room by itself.

    The ripple blanket is starting to look amazing...and the colors you chose are so nice--vibrant and soothing at the same time. reminds me of the ocean. I have done a couple of ripple blankets, and I am sure you will enjoy making this one ;-)

    Hi Rajeswari, I became one of your new followers yesterday through Grow Your Blog party and I saw you had a new post today! Well you put crochet in front of my face and I have to come poke around to see what it's all about... lol! I have to admit that blue, at least a greenish blue like teal, is my favorite color but I certainly can understand your reluctance due to that old blue school uniform! No worries though, thank goodness there is a world full of other colors and yarn comes in most of them! Have fun finishing your new blanket, it look gorgeous...
    Well, today there are still a few more blogs to visit from the party so I'm off...
    Hugs,
    Beth P

    Those colors are so pretty together or maybe I should say, manly! Your son is going to love this ripple. I'm getting ready to start Lucy's granny stitch blanket for a friend's son who has leukemia. He loves black and red. Should be interesting.
