Bright Waves Ripple Afghan

This is the Washington State Afghan from Blue Ribbon Afghans from America's State Fairs: 40 Prize-Winning Crocheted Designs that I purchased a several months ago. This was one of my larger stash busting projects. However, I did end up having to order more Caron Kelly Green as this is no longer available locally. I was able to pick up Red Heart Super Saver Gold locally as my stash was not large enough to finish the project.

The Bright Waves Ripple was one of those simple, but challenging projects. The pattern was not difficult, but I have since started a more challenging chart pattern that I have not pulled out nearly as often as I have this one. It was worth the effort though. I now have the second Christmas afghan finished.

Now that I have started tackling my first chart afghan I am seriously considering making the Colorado Halloween Afghan for my own house next year. There is no way it will make this year's project list.

Ripple Afghan Project

Every time I start one of these projects, it is a learning process. The ripples are similar to the Circus pattern I did before, but this has little bobbles on the white that have been more of a challenge. I have been using safety pins to help track my stitches for the ridges and the bottom of the ripple and this technique has caught a few of my mistakes before they worked into the next row.

I am using the Caron One Pound Yarn as a substitute for Caron Wintuk which I have not been able to locate.
