YARN how I love you :)

Good morning sweeties!

When I went yarn shopping 2 days ago I was singing in the rain 🙂 Yes, it was raining and the sky was dark grey but I had sunshine in my heart and I was sooo joyful! I think one of my best things to do is yarn shopping and I know that I am not alone 😉

So, I chose some yarn to add to my “Stripes of Love”, my Husband’s blanket…

Yes, I know, not my-kind-of-colors … but I like them… and they will be great when added to the blanket…

and I chose some more yarn so I can start a ripple and join the ripple along held by Lucy and Heather !

I don’t know yet when I’ll begin my ripple…I have two blankets on the go, you know, and this ripple will be my third blanket on the go :S but I could not resist… (who could?)

So I bought some yummy yarn in delicious colors 🙂

Here they are: 15 colors so far:

dark green – very light green – red – blue – orange – leaf green – light salmon

very light blue – dark red – yellow mustard – deep pink – light turquoise – dark mauve – green – purple

Don’t know yet if I’ll use them all and if I’ll add some more colors or no….

but I looooooooove them! The colors are really really beautiful in “live”…

The yarn is called Nako Nakolen. It is a 50% wool 50% acrylic blend….

Very soft and so perfect to crochet with… I keep opening the box, touching the yarn, dreaming and closing the box 🙂 (crazy crazy crazy crazy)

My hand is itching and I don’t know yet when my resistance will fail and I’ll finally begin my “Ripples of happiness” (This is how I’m gonna call this blanket to be)

So, I’m going right right now to join the ripple along! There is a flickr group here ! Come on, join me there! It will be a lovely experience 🙂

Have a terrific day!

P.S: My blooming flower cushion is done so a tadaaaa post is coming very soon….Stay tuned 😉

Summer time ripple: the graphic pattern

Good morning!

This is as promised the “how to” for “summer time” ripple blanket.

To begin, you have to make a chain : multiple of 11 + 4… I suggest, just to try out the pattern, to make as in the graphic here a chain of 37 ! ((3×11) +4 = 37) and when you try out and you’re ready to start you’ll make a much bigger chain as big as you want your blanket to be…

 

For Christina’s blanket I started with a chain of 114 (that is (10×11) +4 = 114) which is large enough for a six years girl blanket 🙂

This is a close-up for the valley 😉 (leaving 2 stitches of the previous row and crochet in the 3d one)

and this is a close-up of the mountain 😉 (working 3 treble in the same stitch of the previous row)

It is very very easy to follow…you’ll see when you’ll try…

You have only to begin with the correct number of chain (always a multiple of 11 + 4) and follow the graphic chart…

Happy crocheting 🙂
