Rainbow Ripple

At Knitting Group the other day, we were talking about how many projects we've done, have going and want to do.  

I said I wish I had pictures of all those projects, and someone mentioned, "You mean, you don't have this all written down and recorded in some little notebook?"

"No", and neither did she.  

This is one of my favorite patterns.

Light on one side.

Dark on the other.

This is  a ripple crochet, done with 5 rows of the color, 1 white, 1 variegated, 1 white.  I started with white, then variegated, and ended the same.  For borders, I single crocheted variegated and white on the sides. 

I wonder if I would start with the color, I could single crochet the border all the way around?

Rosella's Afghan

This afghan worked up quickly and easily.  I like the fan and feather pattern, but I've avoided stripes in the past because I don't like to weave them in.  I put the fringe on instead so the chevron patter is vertical.

And, I see to my horror that the stripes are not the same!!!!

Well, what is done is done.  

Sigh.

New and Old

I dug these out of my stash to sell, but nobody wanted them.  I think I'll keep the one on the left and see if someone wants the other two.  

I've been making scrubbie dishcloths like crazy.  I love them.  

Chelsea's Afghan

I asked Chelsea what her favorite colors were and used them in this afghan.  Others are not sure about the color combination, but I liked it. It seems rather a "retro" look.  It also looks a little better in real life. The colors are teal, red and orange.

The stripes are two "v" stitch rows (dc, ch1, dc), with a 3 dc shell between them, sk 2 st, when needed and "v" in the middle dc on the shell.  The red rows are sc and 2 dc rows of the teal.

Crocheted Baby Afghan

I found an afghan with this pattern being used for the babies that visit this house.  Done in soft yellow, it is gorgeous and I wanted to work up a doll afghan to give to some little girl who is now a big sister. I also made a "pattern" afghan because I couldn't find the pattern in my stuff and wrote up the pattern in my pattern blog here, to keep it. It is so pretty worked up, and nicer probably in one color of yarn, but this is what I had. I can't remember who gave it to me, but I seem compelled to work up yarn that I am given as soon as possible. 

Both afghans--doll size and the pattern

Purply/Pink Afghan

This afghan is destined for a gift.  I picked a pattern from this book, and made stripes.  I was nearly done when I wondered what I would do for the edge, but I just used the pattern around and I'm very pleased with the result.

Neutral Afghan

My current afghan project.  I enjoyed making this sampler afghan, and I made matching brown tone ones for a bedroom.  I adapted a pattern I got from someone else to make it fit a twin bed, and also changed some of the stitches for less aggravating ones.  I then wrote up the pattern with what I did for a tryout on writing my own pattern.  It helped that I was using a partly made one already.  But it was still a chore!!

DeEtta's Afghan

I REALLY need to be a little more forehanded on making graduation afghans.  I made another one of these, because it is quick and easy.

The only difference is the border.  I did one row of the pattern around the outside and called it good.  I like the way it looks and I was running out of time.  I finished it an hour before leaving time.
