"That pink isn't really your thing," my man commented. If we were on the quiz show Mr and Mrs we would do quite well I think. The baby pink isn't really my thing but I have had this selection of wool in my stash for a while now and wanted something easy to make in the evenings when my brain cells are spent.
Can you believe that in all the years I have been crocheting things, I have never done a ripple pattern? It is so soothing and rhythmic - I absolutely love making it.
Sure, I am not mad for that candy pink but used sparingly amongst the beautiful pastels it is just fine for a baby girl blanket. I have a few baby celebrations coming up over the next year. I will have all bases covered if I add an obvious girly blanket to my gift box.
The wool was all given to me and a free blanket that is soft, soothing and sumptuous is just what I have been looking for on the crafting front.

I really love the pink and have promised myself a pink hat. it looks so pretty with the grey. The ripple is a favourite - I much prefer it to a granny stripe.
ReplyDeleteI love it, a ripple is indeed soothing to make. I have made my fair share of them. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! It reminds me of Neopolitan ice cream. I love it so much. Ripples are just wonderful. As you know I'm making one right now. It's easy to get addicted!
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of a ripple, it soothes the soul. Love the colour combination. Although I have three Grandaughter's only one of them is a fan of pink so it is a colour that I usually overlook.
ReplyDeleteJennifer nailed it, it does remind me of Neopolitan ice cream, too. Delicious and sweet, soothing for the soul - just like your baby blanket. Funny, I must be the only one in the world who doesn't like rippling. In fact, I can't bear it. Love to look of it but don't love making it... not a winning combination. I am a V-stich girl for crochet blankets. Have a lovely week. x
ReplyDeleteHmmm...now I am thinking that I could try making a gentle ripple preemie blanket with some yarn I have been given. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful work, Jo! xx
ReplyDeleteRipple is something I have not conquered either yet but as I have mastered the waffle stitch pattern I'm sure it will just be a case of sitting comfortably without interruption and concentrating for a while. May be it should be my new years resolution to finally learn. The pink may not be your thing but always a good idea to have a little something in the gift box to suit any occasion.

Love the ripple pattern too, and yours is looking very pretty Jo. The colours mix so well together and it looks very soft...perfect for a baby girl. Enjoy the rest of the week. XxX
