I'm working this pattern in the back loops of each row to give a ridge effect. It is so warming to have the afghan drap over my legs as I work on it.
I'm doing 2 rows of brown in single crochet and then 2 rows of beige in single crochet. The next 3 rows are in brown using double crochet and a space between each stitch, just to give a bit of a loose pattern. Then it gets repeated in beige, brown, and beige again. I just might get around to writing down the pattern.
The weather is like the ripple afghan with the temperatures going up and down. At the beginning of the week we reached around +5 Celsius and overnight Monday it dropped to -18 Celsius and all that melting that took place the previous day was frozen solid by Tuesday morning. Today the temperatures start creeping up again with Thursday and Friday maybe reaching the double digits. There is rain in the forecast for both days so hopefully more of the snow will vanish. But then come Saturday we dip down below 0 Celius once again. It sure is nice to have some of those promising days when the sun is out, the temperatures feel wonderful and the snow disappears. But I'm realistic and know that it is only for a little while and that winter will return rapidly.
Lovely work I like the stitch pattern and the colours.

I haven't done any knitting or crocheting projects this winter. I miss it. Beautiful afgan.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine being cuddled up in that afgan while watching tv or a good book. Love the colours you chose. V
ReplyDeleteI love crocheting too on a winters evening (not that we get much winter here). It's a nice pattern.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and cozy.
ReplyDeleteAre temps are like that too.
Tomorrow it is supposed to in the 70's.
Happy Thursday.

That afghan would look sooo good at my place. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI so love ripple afghans!
ReplyDeleteI have an afghan sort of the same pattern as yours that my grandmother made sitting on the couch. It was on the back of the couch but the dog keeps pulling it down and curling up on it. Winter is great for projects. Our temperatures are going up and down and we were to get rain a few days ago but I don't think we did. If we did now it would take care of the height of the snow banks in front of the windows and maybe we could see out
ReplyDeleteOh you caught me, I am an avid crocheter. The ripples has always been a tried and true pattern. I grew up with it and so did my kids.
ReplyDeleteYour ripples are beautiful! Much nicer than mine! But now I'm thinking that I might get more adventurous and make another one that's a little different...
