First Completed Crocheted Project for 2011

Here is the first project I completed this year. It's a scarf. I made this to wear as a "dress-up" thingie for plain shirts especially turtlenecks. It's not one of those things that would be a good outdoor-keep me-warm thing because of the gaps in the stitch pattern. I found this yarn in a thrift shop some time ago and I decided this would be a nice brainless pattern to work on in between other things. What do you work on when you just need something mindless to keep your hands occupied? Thanks for stopping in and visiting. Y'all come again...

Monday's Link to Free Crochet Pattern 03 January 2011

I love the look of a ripple afghan so I decided to look for a ripplesque (I think I just made up a new word) pattern to post this week. I came across this take on a ripple afghan. It has what looks to be a few rows of a traditional ripple afghan, then there is a "lacy-looking" ripple. Pretty interesting. Hope the new year is going well for all of you. Hugs....
