Here's BABY RIPPLE, don't you agree it is lovely ! ! !
DH and I picked the yarn and the color [what else beside pinks would do?] and I set to work crocheting, crocheting and then, crocheting some more.
It ended up be 36" x 40"
Wasn't too certain how to finish the edge until I picked up my old standby [there are some that think it's publishing date of 1959 makes it OLD, OLD]
Found what I was looking for on page 18:
Ahh, a Shell Stitch Edge.
What fun ! ! !
My very first ripple blanket completed.
Certainly is a Lucy-style ripple blanket if I ever saw one. Please, take a moment to drop in for a visit with Lucy and leave her a comment.
Why it's a box covered with hearts!
Just the right box for:
A Gift-From-Our-Hearts
topped off with a pink bow.
Ready for a girly-girl.
Baby Ripple looks fantastic!! ♥

Love the pink baby ripple and listening to Pink. I can almost see her swinging in the air.
ReplyDeleteMultiple talents - I'm impressed. Love the ripple afghan. Somethings never go out of style.

ReplyDeleteStunning first Ripple. You got that right. It's a Lucy special. She will be so proud of this one. Love your edging, doesn't it just finish them off. What next?...he-he...
ReplyDeleteGerry, love the baby afghan. Can't wait to make one for my great granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've added the border to square it off. I never thought to do that with the one I made and just left the zigzag edges. Great colours as well.
ReplyDeleteGerry this is such a beautiful ripple! I LOVE the way you have given it a straight edge, how do you do it? xxx
ReplyDeleteThe border on Baby Ripple was inspired by none other than The Garden Bell - you can find her Ripples on her blog. Just click on 'The Garden Bell' in the above Comment.
