Morning all....just a quick one today. Once upon a very long time ago, in a crocheting world far, far away, I started a ripple blanket for the first born. I am pleased to tell you that it was delivered at Christmas time, and here it is living in its new home...just between you, me and the gatepost, I quite like it!
I missed the whole rippling thing, so I started on a cushion. And here it is, still incomplete, but resting nicely in my new/old indian parat from Lived In Coogee. Vanessa was brilliant. I saw on Facebook that she had some new parats in stock but they weren't in the online store, so she took some photos of what she had, emailed me and hey presto a few days later it was here! So happy with it.
To see a multitude of creative types, head this way...and I'll see you next week. Thanks heaps for this one. I might do some more crochet...or perhaps I'll just read a book J
Oh it just looks so perfect there in that dish... you don't even need to finish it... the perfect vignette! A-M xx
ReplyDeleteI love it. And that dish(?) bowl(?) is to die for!
ReplyDeleteLove love love it! I want one for BabyB's new nursery it would look SO cool.
ReplyDeleteYou might have to start 'Ripple crocheting workshops by Kerry' for dud crocheters like me :)

Those ripples look just gorgeous! Great colours!

Great job on the rug Kerry and the cushion is going to look fab too. I've nit heard of those bowl thingamies before but doesn't it look beautiful in that photo? Lovely :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so nice Kerry! Crochet and parat. I'm like Sarah, never heard of a parat before. xx
ReplyDeleteOh how I love ripple blankets! Am yet to successfully master the ripple myself, but will defiantely be trying again!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a clever lady I only wish I knew where you found the time with your incredibly busy life to do these very clever and wonderful things!
ReplyDeleteLike A-M I don't think you need to finish the cushion, though, it will be beautiful when you do!
I must say that the throw takes me back to my youth when my Grandmother made one using squares for me!!! xx
I love it Kerry. I am in the middle of a rather large project but when I have finished I would love to give a ripple cushion a go.
ReplyDeleteThe blanket is beautiful...I love the colors! I have never seen a ripple cushion so finish it up!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
such lovely colours! That's one skill I haven't got, but maybe you've inspired me to give it another go - have a great weekend, Kerry -x
ReplyDeleteThat look so pretty, Kerry. I am hoping to find (note, find, not make - I wish!) something similar for the back of my own couch. x
ReplyDeleteKerry, It is beautiful and very cool in the Indian Parat! I'm gald it arrived safe and sound...Vanessa
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever! I have zero talent in that department. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful - wish I could crochet, but no - not really :O)
ReplyDeleteHave a sunshiny day,

)Beautiful ripples :-)
ReplyDeleteOh I'm loving your rippling work ;) Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying your blog from Auckland. Jane :)
ReplyDeleteYou're very talented. If I could crochet, yet alone ripple, I'd be crocheting everything! It must be relaxing and a good way to let the sub-conscious tick over.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a star, Kerry, mastering that. I'm so impressed. Bravo! J x
ReplyDeleteHmm...seems you mistakenly gave MY ripple throw blanket to your gorgeous daughter!! It looks wonderful in its new home:) Love, love, love your new parat and that ripple cushion...I just may have to give this ripple crochet a go...if I ever get 5 seconds to myself again! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead dear Kerry ~ xx
