I joined The No-End-In-Sight Ripple-Along. After seeing all the marvelous ripples I just had to join in. I've been crocheting ever since I can remember but I can't remember who taught me how. Two of my aunts crochet yet they both say they never showed me how. Maybe they just inspired me to go out and learn.
My ripple is going to be for a child. It's around 45" wide. After looking through the 200 Ripple Stitch Patterns book and swatching several patterns I decided on the Malibu ripple. The yarn is Caron Simply Soft Brites. Most of the colors I had tagged for a different project but I changed my mind. After adding 3 more colors to the mix I'm up to 8. The colors in order of use are Lemonade, Limelight, Blue Mint, Berry Blue, Grape, Watermelon, Papaya, and Mango. I also have some black but I'm not sure if I'm going to use it or not.
After several days of crocheting, I made it through 5 colors so far. The stripes are 3 rows each.

It looks beautiful, I would not use black with it,though. Thanks for your comment by the way. I don't know why this little story bothers me so much. I have got some china from my mom, she had 3 sets. She gave me one (not the one I would have liked), I said I would use it, I don't like stuff just to stand around, but this one is so fine, I'm worried it will break. So I don't use it at all. Maybe I'll take it out one of these days and start using it! ;o)
