ripppppling

nine a.m. thursday


This is what I worked on for the very long ride.

ten a.m. thursday

eleven a.m. thursday


I started out taking hourly photos but forgot as I got more into it. It started out as the ice cream blanket because the colours made me think of: mocha, black raspberry, coffee, then mint chip, but the blue threw me for a loop so I suppose I'll just have to call it the traveling blanket now. Or the relaxing on the awesome back deck with amazing new friends blanket. I can't decide which has a better ring to it. I also can't decide whether to keep on rippling away or wait until those great people come (soon) to visit and keep it in tradition of sorts...?

arrival thursday


I'm trying to go neutral, colour, neutral, colour all along to try and use up some stash, but I think I need to expand my colour scheme a little. Which may mean a trip to the store...maybe. We'll see.

last shot before the light failed me.

back on the road saturday

The colours are beautiful Elizabeth. I have always wanted to try out a ripple, will definitely add it to the list of to dos...

I love the ripple - it's so surprising when it forms the little peaks with just a few simple stitches...

It could be the "Blanket of the Traveling Friends"!

it looks great Elizabeth. I like how you manage to integrate neutral colours in so nicely (you also did in your granny throw?)
