My Granny Ripple

is finished!


For a stash buster, I don't think too bad. With the exception of the lavender (I had to run and get another skein as I ran out) I had these colors on hand and therefore the color combo.


As far as the blanket, this a keeper pattern for me. I can see this is one that I will make again and again. Its fun to work on and very simple and yet looks so good!
The dimensions of this are 48" X 42", a bit larger then a lapghan but certainly can be used as one and yet large enough to cover up in your favorite chair on chilly evenings.
Its home has yet to be decided.

  5. Oh, it's beautiful...I'm trying to decide if I like the granny ripple better than the regular ripple...I think I do! The colors are great too...the pattern sort of reminds me of something Aztek! I'm sure there will be no problem finding a home for that beauty!

  8. The granny is just eye catching. I do love this one. Thanks for wishing Nan-Nan a happy birthday it just pleased her to no end. Although she remembers very little she counts her birthday wishes, cards, and calls. LOL shes so precious. The past several days I have not been able to post a comment so hope this makes it.
