Ripple Afghan Complete!

Well, I finally finished the RIPPLE AFGHAN I started ages & ages ago a while back. I think it was, oh, mid-December when I completed it. (?) I haven't bothered to measure it, but I'm 5'9",  and it goes from just underneath my toes up to my chin-- the perfect length for cozying up on the couch or living room chair in the evenings! Here are a couple of photos of the finished project.

Folded in half, hanging off the back of the couch

Fully opened, again hanging off back of couch.
The weight of this afghan makes it bow in the center
at the sides as it hangs. Rest assured
that the width is the same the entire
length of the afghan.



Since then I've crocheted my hubby a cream-colored winter cap, a hat & scarf set for my Seester, a scarf for me, and have begun another afghan. (More on the new afghan another time!)


**Hat tip: Aunt Lori for sending my crochet tote back to me after I'd left it at her house earlier this month!

Great job!

My gram always made those ripple afghans. I still have one she made me when I was in 8th grade.

I tend to crochet small projects... hats, booties, and I sew a lot.

Good job. Well done!

You did a super job on the afghan. Ironically, I'm finishing up one afghan and will start on the next one....a ripple. My wife and I bought the yarn and I'm already to go!
