Thought i'd pop in & post a lil update on my ripple blanket which i have to say I am getting so much pleasure from. Its gotta be the most soothing, relaxing, easy flow crochet blanket ever....
I'm on 35 rows, don't know yet how big to make it, so i'm gonna keep going till I get bored or until it reaches a fairly good size, whichever comes first :D
I am finding the colors so gentle & dreamy, its got to be a bedroom throw when its finished!!!
I find myself being tempted to add more color, but it'll ruin that lightness, so lilacs, purple, lavender & pink will make up the main stay of colors in this!!!
My absolute favorite monthly magazine has been read & admired from cover to cover this weekend, the christmassy cuteness & inspiration is enough to keep your creative cells ticking over for at least another month.
Country Homes & Interiors, Christmas edition.........isn't the cover sweet, i think i love everything to do with Christmas, it really is a big part of our year here in the Cassidy house!!!
Aren't they just simply beautiful images......Oh oh oh i can't wait. Roll on December....!!!
Roll on Christmas trees, turkey, pudding, family time, Christmas morning service.... oh i just love it all!!
Well maybe i should calm down a wee bit & say toodles for now.
Again thank you for all your sweet comments & love
Have a wonderful week
Lots of love Karen Xxxxxxxxxxx
The throw is perfect. You're right the colors are so calming. Did you post the pattern? I'd love to get one started. Have a wonderful day, Patty

ReplyDeleteI am loving your ripple blanket! The colours are really to my taste. I am glad that you are enjoying this project so much too. Bye for now, Mandy x
ReplyDeleteSuch a yummy ripple blanket, Karen! Those colours are delicious! I have just arrived back with the same magazine in my shopping bag! (Also, just wanted to say I am using the little pin cushion you made me while working on a sewing project today that needs LOTS of pins!) Have a good week.

Ooooooh your ripples are beautiful! I love the colours you are using - so very pretty. I am definitely going to have to make another one once I finish the current one and I will use yours as inspiration. It is a lovely pattern to follow isn't it? Although I do have to concentrate more as I've had to undo quite a few rows where I've stuffed it up!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a fab week hon.
