Round Ripple Update

Here is a better picture of My Beast that I did for my Pastor.

Here is a pictue of the one I did for a baby that was born in our church way back in July. His grandmother loved it. Not sure about his parents though.

Just finished this one for a baby girl due in March. This is another lady that is pregnant at our church. The mom loved it. She said it was very pretty. Big sister loved it as well and mom said that big sister would probaly end up "running off with it" until baby comes. I have plenty of leftover yarn in the solid colors so I will be making one of these for my own little girl. The pattern won't be the same and I need to get more of the ocean color. I will post a picture when I get done with it. I also have to do 2 spider man ones, one for a baby boy who was born in December and his mom was able to adopt him. Then there is another lady who is due in April with a boy as well. Yes we have had a "baby boom" at our church. When I told my pastor I was expecting too she said "she was getting all of her new members through babies". By the time mine is born there will be 5 in one year so I guess she is right.

Round Ripple Patterns

Here's a link to a page with links to round ripple patterns. The most commonly used is the sew on fire and lynnes round ripple patterns, I hope this helps. http://www.tamemymind.com/blog/2007/...or-knitted.php

The sew on fire has a mistake in it on round 3, here is a link to chrome kittys correction. http://www.crochetville.org/forum/sh...ty+corrections

The Beast

It's finally done and it is a beast. I estimate about 90 inches. I will give it to my pastor on Sunday. I know she will love it as it is her favorite color. It took a long time to do as it has been so hot here. July the average temperature was 95-104 all month. This summer just has been unseasonably warm. When it was so hot I could only work with it in the early morning and for only about an hour before the air conditioner couldn't keep up so I would have to put away until the next day. When it got close to done it would take about an hour to go around it so you can figure how long it took to finish. It is well worth it though. It will be my pastors appreciation/house warming/ birthday gift. I will post again with her reaction to it but like I said I know she will love it and know that God has blessed her.

My recent round ripples

These are some of my recect projects:

This was for a baby.

This was for a 3y/o girl

This one is almost done now and is for my pastor. It is very big. I am thinking around 90 inches when it is done.
