Ripple Baby Afghan/Blanket--A WIP (Work in Progress)
Here's my latest wip. It is a baby blanket based on a pattern I found at Lion Brand Yarns. I am making it out of sc instead of dc for a tighter weave. It looks narrower than I expected. Originally I was going to give this to a toddler I know but I think after I finish it I'll put it in my "gift" drawer and give it to the next little boy born in the family. I thought this color scheme, burgundy and white, was more appropriate for a toddler--I'm still of the old-school mind-set and like pastels for newborn babies. I get rather nostalgic over ripple baby afghans/blankets because that is what I made for my older son before he was born. I started it when I first got married just to have something to do. I didn't have the stick-to-it-ness and I finished it about a week before he was born 2 1/2 years later! I have speeded up some in recent years so I know the one I'm working on now will be finished in a few weeks. Take care y'all...Hugs...
