A post exclusively for myself ... and, of course, for you, my friends! Hope you are doing well and thanks a lot for leaving such nice comments! Today I need to keep a record of the first big crochet project I started few days back. I say to myself that I can finish it before the first dates of November...when the baby is going to be born. Not mine though :)
I chose three colors 100% acrylic Baby Soft yarn of the Indian brand Vardhman. The thread feels very soft and cosy if it can be such. The crochet hook is 3.5 mm. I purchased it from my native city's shop during this Summer visit to my parents. It's a very good hook of the Russian company Gamma. I really loved this ripple pattern from the knitting and crocheting Russian site. I was struggling with it for a while and when finally understood, it went on smoothly.
So here are today's morning's snaps of the ripple baby blanket progress. Nearly half has been done, way to go! I am planning to do at least twenty rows this Saturday/Sunday. Do you have any mission for coming up weekend?;)
*** Have a nice Friday!***
Ай, какая конфетка ... Класс!
ReplyDeleteSpasibo, Svetla! Eto moi pervyi bol'shoi proekt :)
DeleteColors are very sweet! :) and the ripple pattern has turned out nicely! Vardhaman has a very good range of colors. Don't know, why pony craft store doesn't sell that.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I always get confused how do I address you - Indianka or Hindustanka? :)
Hello, Preeti! Yes, I really liked color range of of Vardhman. Pony craft store isn't in my city for sure, they once suggested me to order online.
DeleteWell, actually my nickname is Hindustanka, but I know I need to change Indianka in my google + profile:))
thanks for leaving a nice comment!
Great colors for a baby blanket. Ripple patterns are fun, aren't they?

Thanks, Meredith!i am glad to have such feedback from an experienced knitter :)
DeleteLovely colors! Vardhman is the best. I love the color range and the quality. I love ripples, but somehow I could never try any pattern till now. Oh, there is an endless list of things, I want to do. This must be the same with you! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have already started looking for a doily pattern to start with. Its fun, you must try! Good Luck and happy weekend! :)
It is the first time I tried this brand, I liked it too. Very good thread, soft and smooth while crocheting. As you rightly said, I also have many things on my mind which I want to do... Well, as soon as I am done with the blanket, I'd like to make something for myself, like cardigan... Doily however is on my list too :)
DeleteWhat a cheerful and pretty blanket. Lucky baby! :)
ReplyDeleteBut baby doesn't know yet :)hehe
DeletePerfect soft colors for a cozy baby blanket! Looks already great. I'm sure you'll get it ready in time, ripple patterns are so much fun to crochet :-)
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy crocheting it! Need to buy more yarn now. Nearly half has been done:) Thanks for your nice comment, Nata!
DeleteI'm always extremely jealous of people who can crochet. I know, I know, I could learn, huh?
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you chose. It goes well for a boy or a girl. I bet the future mom and dad will be delighted ;-)
Yes, you can! I wonder what all you could create of yarn..:)
DeleteThanks a lot for finding time for your lovely *and I am blushing now* praising comment!
I've never even done a ripple. I like the granny stripe as it is very easy to do. :) The blanket is coming along nicely. Take care, Tammy
ReplyDeleteI was considering granny stripe too, but chose ripple finally.It is fun pattern too. Thanks, Tammy, I appreciate your nice comment!Take care!
