My friend is expecting her second baby and this time I thought I'd ask her what colour she wanted for a blanket. She did specify yellow.... but when I went in the yarn shop they didn't have anything really nice and soft in a bright yellow.... which was a bit of a relief for my eyes.
I did find a nice lemon and then I saw a lovely green which tones nicely with it. I'd seen this pattern for a ripple blanket and was really keep to start on it.
So, Saturday afternoon I sat down and started :) and this was the result a couple of hours later. It's now a fair bit larger, but it's taking longer to do each round. I love the pattern, it's really easy to learn and remember. If you want to try it you can find it here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/free-smoothfoxs-beginners-round-ripple

Ripple Blanket - the beginning
Sunday, 6 March 2011
Purple twisted square
I did two 'fancy' squares which the girls insisted I use in the blanket. This is a close up of the purple one... I'm really pleased with how it turned out.
Whole blanket
Finally finished sewing together all of our family granny squares and crocheting the edges.... it took some time but I think you'll agree, it was worth it. More photos to follow.
