Interesting! I am curious how it looks when it gets bigger. I started a ordinary ripple on friday and I'm enjoying every row of it. Mine is 63 inch wide.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I'd have never thought of that -- you are SOOOOO creative. I can always rely on you for inspiration, Debi. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is gonna be AWESOME! I have never ever seen a crooked ripple blankie :) I am so pumped to see some progress on it. Where'd you get the idea??? I am still too nervous to try out my first ripple. I bought a book with some easy patterns, but I havent used it!
ReplyDeleteI love this - what a great idea to make a crooked ripple. I'm so interesting in seeing how it looks as it progresses!
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies. :)
ReplyDeleteBumbleBri - I saw a chart on the news about some company's earnings. The line went up and down like a ripple, but not even. I thought it would be interesting to try it in crochet. :)
Interesting!! I never would have thought.......Can't wait to see more:)
ReplyDeleteI love this! I tend to use the same ripple pattern over and over again - this is a great twist! I'll definitely be trying soon :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Debi, looking forward to seeing how it progresses. :-)
ReplyDeleteI've never done a regular ripple but have a feeling that without even trying, mine would come out crooked. Ha! You are always coming up with something new. Have fun. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, you are one clever lady. I can't wait to see more. Colours are great. xx
ReplyDeleteDebi ... I LOVE this ... what a great idea, thanks for posting. I'm trying to finish my Christmas afghan but this may get inthe way!
ReplyDeleteDear Debi,
ReplyDeletecan' t wait to see more of this...
Love your new "Ripple" so much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this pattern!!!
Send you many, many Greetings

I love it, but wonder how is it staying flat and not rippling all up? As much as I crochet and I still haven't grasped the math concept of it. And I've always been good in math. :o(
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. :)
ReplyDeleteHookin It With Mr. Lick Lick - it doesn't ripple because there is the same number of dc's in each row. By skipping the 2 dc's at the low points, it cancels out the 2 dc's that are added at the high points, so we are left with the same number of dc's on the straight sides.
I really like this! You are trying really hard to suck me into crochet, aren't you! I must resist, I have to finish my knitting...but I do plan on making this one day. It's really lovely. Thanks for sharing the pattern. I can't wait to see your progress. :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings always
Thank you for sharing the inspiration and the pattern. Maybe some day also I have the time and inspiration... The pattern is very nice.
ReplyDeletethis is awesome!! I'm going to have to start a ripple like this!
ReplyDeleteHoola!! me encanta este patrón, gracias por compartirlo,yo estoy haciendo una manta de ondas, pero estas tan originales nunca las habia visto
ReplyDeleteme gusta su blog mucho!
un abrazo
the chart of a company's earnings as inspiration for a baby blanket, that's great!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the way it looks so far!
Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteI made this type of afghan years ago and lost the pattern; so happy to find it again. I still have it and it's still very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis afghan is too cute, going to have to try it. Always like something different.
ReplyDeleteI've been crocheting for forty years, and ripples are one of my favorite afghan patterns. With two coworkers about to have babies this spring, this will be a fun one to use for the little ones soon to be born. This will be fun to work on!
