My Creative Space: Ripple Progress

I feel like I'm making significant progress on my ripple. Although I way over-estimated the width of my pillows so it's not going to be a pillow case...it's another baby blanket! Now I just need a baby to give it to :-)

When I posted about the ripple at the start of the week I only had 1 lonely ripple...a little while later I had 7....

I think I could happily crochet rainbows forever without getting bored of the colour combination!

This is how my ripple was looking yesterday afternoon....

And here's some ruffled ripples...

It really is quite a soothing stitch to sit of an evening and do. A nice wind-down at the end of the day.

I am hoping to do at least 3 rainbows (so 21 ripples) maybe 4 (28 ripples) but I might run out of yarn! Hopefully the yarn shop still has some if I need to replenish supplies :-)

P.S. Don't forget to enter my giveaway to win a crochet bag and some other goodies :-)

~~~ a ripple along ~~~

I've been wanting to learn to ripple (crochet) for a while but every time I looked at pictures of some lovely ripples I got a little scared it would be too hard.
But now Lucy at Attic 24 and Heather at Little Tin Bird are hosting a ripple along! There's a group on Flickr to share pictures of your lovely ripples and the added benefit of knowing that 2 amazing ripplers (is that a word?!) are rippling right along with you :-)
So over the weekend I found Lucy's instructions that I'd printed AGES ago and sat down and did a practice ripple.
Woo-hoo - it worked!

So I have started a ripple cushion cover.

I'm hoping to move on to a blanket but we will see how the smaller project goes first!
I am using up the yarn left over from the rainbow blanket.

Anyone else rippling along?
