So now I was ready to RIPPLE ALONG! Woohoo!

_________________________________________________________________________

 

To kick things off, Mel wrote a blog post to help get us all get started. You can view it HERE.

 

 

Our first lot of pre-blanket homework was to work out which pattern we were going to use, the size we wanted to make our blanket and then select our yarn colours.

 

So this is my blanket details that I have decided:

 

PATTERN: the Neat Ripple Pattern by Lucy of Attic24

 

SIZE: I am chaining up 199 stitches and will keep rippling along until my blanket reaches somewhere over a metre (will see as I go along). I will do a double row of each colour I choose.

 

YARN COLOURS: My first blanket will be for Sprout. I knew one of the colours were going to be white and there would definitely be pink. I confided in Miss Sprout for her colour choice and she picked green and orange as the other colours. Wasn't surprised by that actually :-)

Sooo...

 

This is the colourway I decided upon. I will repeat this sequence over again throughout my blanket until the desired length.

 

And once the colours are chosen, you pretty much just wanna get stuck into it!

So - the rippling begun!

 

 

I found the foundation row to be quite tedious and required my utmost attention. Probably my least favourite part of this blanket BUT it is worth it because it's pretty much all-systems-go after that!

 

 

And so I am RIPPLING along and loving every minute of it!!

 

You can check out what Mel is doing with her blanket HERE.
