Rainbow ripple: A new WIP on the go…
Good morning my friend!
How are you feeling today? I hope that a big smile is illuminating your face in this grey morning 🙂
Another Monday, another week, another day to love, another day to be thankful for all the joys granted ! Trying to live everyday as if it is my last… (trying, just trying, sometimes it doesn’t work 😉 )
I enjoyed so much my ripples of happiness that once it was done I felt like something was missing in my crochet life… so, I started another ripple … yes another one 🙂
Although I am still crocheting Myyy vintage blanket (I’m joining the squares of the last 4 rows now) I needed a ripple as second wip…to alternate between the joys every project gives and to not get bored too…
So, I had to…start another ripple…
Let’s show you first the yarn…mmmh…yarn is one of the best things man has ever invented 😀 hahaha Don’t you agree? 😀
I want this time to use the colors of the rainbow as they are…
… pure and bold and in sequence as in a rainbow…
…because nothing is better in a grey and cold day (or night) of winter than to snuggle under a rainbow warm blanket 🙂
The yarn is (once more) Nako Vizon a 100% acrylic and very soft yarn… (still waiting for their online shop so you can order your nako yarn too wherever you are around this globe 😉 )
I’m following this pattern…
choosing the colors as they come in the rainbow…
and alternating the number of rows of every color as in Lucy’s ripple…
I’m loving it so far… loving it loving it toooooo much… I even crocheted the pink-red-orange part and it is “light” mmmh a lovely warm kind of “light” but I did not take pics yet (I’ll show you next time)
and did you spot my new basket??? It is the most perfect basket for crochet I’ve ever had so far… It is big enough to hold all the yarn colors I use (sometimes more than 20!) and it can even holds two WIP together 🙂 I’m in love with it!
Have to go now… I’ve got a very busy day today!
Sending you BIG parcels of love through this post… Catch them 😉
Have a lovely day!

Betty

Que j’aime cette explosion de couleurs !
Ton ouvrage promet d’être un bien bel ouvrage qui illuminera les jours de grisaille.
J’ai hâte de pouvoir moi aussi goûter au plaisir de crocheter cette laine, mais je pense que je risque vite d’en devenir accroc 🙂
Bonne semaine !
Just ‘found’ your blog an I love it, it is so colourful! And it’s great to see more crochet addicts…..for me it’s hard to stop at times too! (wish I didn’t need sleep…). Have a lovely day! Regards, Floortje
When I looked at the yarn colours you had chosen, I wasn’t sure I liked them and then I saw your photo of your work so far and it looks absolutely wonderful! you are so clever with your colour choices and I look forward to seeing this grow. x
Well it truly is a grey day here Angie, and your post has just made me feel full of sunshine! Those colours are vibrant indeed, and the ripple is full of sunny promise.. I hope you have a lovely week :)x
Most beautiful! I too am going to use a rainbow of colour in my next ripple – have been looking forward to it now for at least two months but haven’t even bought the wool yet – Eek! But Christmas has taken over just now so am rEAlly looking forward to getting going in the New Year. Have a wonderful colour filled day. 😀
Oh, btw, I am making stockings! They are just sooo cute, thank you 😀
nooooooo, now i want to make a ripple blanket too! 😉 i love that you chose the colour of the rainbow, they just look great together 🙂
I love that Basket, not to mention the crochet work as well, but I love the basket. I need one just like that, but I have not been able to find it, can you believe that! Uf!
Take care!
Lorena
It is so pretty. I am trying to decide what I am doing next. I finished my ripple last week. I still have plenty of Christmas stuff to work on, lol..
Love it! xx
Love the rainbow idea for the ripple, it’s very uplifting!! I can’t believe the speed of your crochet! You are amazing! I have also looked at your previous two posts and think that the idea of using your socks for an advent calendar is great! Thanks for all the inspiration Angie, Pati x
I’m gping to gather up my brisghtest colors.
I’m going to grab up the best hook.
The greyest, gloomyest days will be filled with lots of crochet.
hugs

Ohw man! I’ve been in the market for a basket like that, for ages, but I cannot seem to find it – I am so jealous! 😉
And your riple looks divine already – it’s going to be another hit when it’s finished! 🙂
xo,

what a happy and color-rich start to a cold, wintry monday morning. thank you!! i love the new ripple, just lovely!
Hello Angie,
I love that colors!!!And what a nice basket.
A great idea to chrochet the rainbow, last time when I was on my bicycle I saw the rainbow in the sky, it is always a little kind of wonder what we see than. My day is not grey anymore, reading your weblog thanks!!!
Many many greeting from holland!
I love the bright colors you use. What is the brand name of the yarn? I have looked locally and can get 4 or 5 bright colors, but not in the range you have. Thanks for sharing your work. It keeps me motivated to try new ideas!
thank you, Debbie
Thank you for the sweet Monday morning greeting. Everyday is a gift from God and I’m thankful. Your new ripple is stunning!
Teresa
Adoro tus trabajos! son bellos!
Felicitaciones!

Love your blanket…and the yarn colors are beautiful! Thanks for the pattern, too. I will have to make one of these lovely blankets. 🙂
Blessings always
I have a basket too. Mine is narrow enough to fit in the car behind the driver seat. When I am early for pick up I have something to do : )
Love your blanket! I am amazed at how much you get done — WOW! I am too easily distracted. Love all the cheer you are sending into the gray winter.
Hola, la manta está preciosa combinada con esos colores, son muy alegres, felicitaciones, un saludo
la lumière est dans la maison lorsque l’on crochète de telles couleurs !
Hi Angie! That is going to be a fantasitc blanket! I love your rainbow colours and the pattern how you change the colours!
Have a lovely week! xxx Teje
Ooooh! Another ripple! Love your colours. I’m saving up for some luxury yarn to make a nice cosy blanket.
I love your basket too :o) But so would my house bunnies… they would eat it. LOL… Thank you for the eye candy today 🙂
hugs Ellyx
I LOVE this ripple, too! After waking up to a snow-covered Winter Wonderland this morning in West Texas – the warmth of your Sunshiney Rainbow Ripple was definitely the mood booster I needed! TFS! 😀
Arcoiris de colores… perfecta combinación de colores. Por cierto, ya sé que regalo navideño quiero: una cesta 🙂

Hi there!
Your good vibe sure is contagious!!!
And your colorful ripple happiness reflects that vibe.
I am already putting together yarn colors to begin another ripple blanket. I enjoyed every minute of making mine.
Your basket is perfect!!!!
I LOVE your basket …. I have to admit to having a little bit of a basket fetish…..don’t tell anyone please!!! The new colours are stunning and I love how Lucy’s striping is working for you. Gorgeous! Am posting my ripple wip today so please pop over and have a look….. lol x
Haai Sucrette!
I love your crochet work, especially your blankets! And I really love rainbow colours!
I was wondering, how many yarn do you need for an average blanket? And for what kind of crochet hook? (#3, #4?)
I’m thinking of making a blanket, but I’m not sure… I usually crochet amigurumi’s, but I would love to have a own made blanket to snuggle under on cold evenings!
Go on with your crochet work and blog, I’m following! 😀
Love,
Marieke

I love the look of your basket. It looks very sturdy.
Beautiful, love the rich colours…..I am trying not to think blankets at the moment as I have sooooo much to do for Christmas, but after Christmas I will again think blankets!
Dear Sucrette! Love the Rainbow-Colours and looking forward to see your blanket finished!
Lovely Advent
