Blended Scraps Ripple

I started another project. :)

 I am making another ripple afghan. This one will also be made from yarns that I have on hand.

I started out with 4 rows of Aran, then added 2 rows of each color of blue I had.(Well the ones I have in sight. LOL! I have a bunch of yarn in the attic still)

I really like the way the blues blended together here. I have added on since this picture. I added one more blue color.. Then I added 4 more rows of Aran. My next set of colors will be greens.

Friday is here!

So Friday is finally here! But we have a very busy weekend ahead of us.

As you can see above I was able to add a little more work to the ribbon afghan.

I found another darker purple and decided to go ahead and add it in as well. So far I think I like the addition.

For those of you thinking about making this.... And you are worried about weaving in all those ends...

Heres an idea for you. Instead of worry about weaving in the ends. What about turning them in too fringe?

The actual pattern does not include aborder. I am just going to add one on. So, if you like afghans with fringe it wouldn't be such a task at the end. Or if you don't want the fringe, just crochet the ends in as you go. I could have done that. LOL! But I decided to wait.

 Even though I wasn't going too.... I did start yet another project.... I found some really pretty purple Kashmere and decided to make another Prayer Shawl. I didn't have enough of the purple so I added in some white. This one will be going to a friend of mine at church. Her favorite color is purple.

I do like this yarn, it is super soft. Unfortunatly Bernat discontinued it. :( Luckily before it was gone, I did get a bunch of it. I just never thought to get a larger amount of each of the colors. Next time I will know better. :)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Ribbon Afghan Update!

Now that the Prayer Shawl is done, I was able to pick up the Ribbon afghan again. Yay! This one is so much fun with all of the colors. :) I have decided that I will just crochet all those ends in when I add the border to this afghan. The question is...... What color should the border be? Aran? White? Or should I add a black border? I really am not sure what I want to do. I was orignally thinking the Aran. But then I added some white into the stripes and thought it was really pretty. And the black would make all the colors stand out. BUT, would the black take away from the overall effect of colors in it now?

Here is a different angle to show you all the colors that are in the afghan. I did decide to add another color into it. I will be added another shade of brown to it today. :) Can't wait to see how it will look in there.

And this is a gift I received for Christmas. What a great gift it is. Loads of room to store my yarn and project. And there are a lot of pockets to put things into as well. :) Right now I have all the yarn for the Ribbon afghan in there. It fits in perfectly.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Busted!~

So the plan was to atleast finish off one of the three projects I have been working on BEFORE starting another one..... Well...... That didn't happen. Something has come up and I am working on a new project. But... It is for a good reason. :)

 Above you can see a closer view of the project I am working on. It is a prayer shawl.

You can find the pattern here. 

 We have a special event coming up at church next weekend. And we will be decorating in a winter theme.

So I am using Bernat Softee in Pale Blue and Baby Denim Marl. I am making it with two strands held together.

  And... To go along with the fact that I started a new project. I also had to buy a skein of yarn. LOL! I needed the pale blue to go with the Denim Marl I am using in this shawl.  I really didn't want to have to buy any more yarn. But this was needed to finish the project. Atleast it is going to get used up right away. :)




 Have a great Day Everyone!
