I have envied other crafter's "rippling" skills for a long time... so I decided that the clever Lucy at Attic24 shall teach me with her neat ripple tutorial. I printed it off so I don't have to strain my eyes at the lappie. 
I did have to pull out 3 rows and re-do them as I realised I missed one single treble, which shifted the ripple pattern of all rows which followed. It will be a cushion which will eventually reside on this rocking chair. I am finding the act of rippling a very relaxing thing to do. For me it requires some concentration to try to remember to count stitches as I go. I like that. I like that it's not too mundane.
Have you rippled? Did you love it too? I'd like to know if you have tried a different looking ripple pattern.

rainbow ripple....
Before we went to Tassie I decided that I should spend no less than $50 on wool in Lincraft (thank u fab mother-in-law for the wonderful gift xx). Yes, I feel that it is going to be a very productive year in the crochet department. Just looking at the balls in their rainbowy brightness on the shelf is very exciting pastime in itself.

I actually participated in a 'Ripple along' a couple of years ago (via someone's blog I think.) I'll have to remember where that was and I might be able to find all the other ripple patterns others were using.
ReplyDeleteYou are so patient! I left you a blog award at my blog :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks beautiful! I must learn how to do that. My crochet skills are beyond lacking, but I'm going to work on that!
ReplyDeleteAh that's lovely. I have attempted the ripple but haven't yet mastered it.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! I'm working on a bit of a rainbow granny square blanket in cotton but was thinking of trying a ripple one in wool for winter.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the ripple blanket. Isnt Lucy clever with her tutorials. I think I might have to print that one off too and have a go.
