Took a picture of the blanket I'm sending to my new sister-in-law for Christmas (though it's lookin' like it'll be late...). Anyone that crochets at all knows that the ripple pattern is just barely above straight stitching - vey simple and kinda boring...but I still think it turned out nice!

Sorry the picture is so big...

Hey all - Corin called - said the Missus came through her surgery just fine and was in recovery :~D

Nothing wrong with a simple patten :D
My baby blanket is a simple ripple pattern. It functions adequately for it's intended purpose

Those are lovely colors, Rosie!! Looks like you did a great job, too. When is their baby due?

For a wedding gift for SirKit, I crocheted a king size blanket in that ripple stitch, in a variegated combo that was black with all kinds of bright colors. It was vey nice, and we still have it! He made a hope chest for me out of redwood. We still have that, too! I didn't go the route of all the other girls who got hope chests when they graduated high school. I got a 12 string guitar, instead. Still have that, too, though I haven't played it in YEARS!

Mama crocheted baby blankets for all her grandchildren. We kept them for each of the kids. My Daddy was always mystified that something with that many holes in it could be so warm. ;o)
