Having realised, some time after the event, that my ‘Soft Granny Ripple’ (title given by someone other than myself) was actually not the symmetrical design I had been aiming for, which had been a granny version of this sort of ripple. I created what I called my ‘Smooth Granny Ripple’. However realising that the original Granny Ripple was… Read More My Slow Granny Ripple!
I have just completed the project I started after I had finished the cloth for the dining table. I wanted something that would be easy on my hands and this bag has been on my to-do list for quite some time.I have made two bags before.

I have finally finished my Spectrum Granny Ripple blanket after almost a year, just in time for winter! I had expected that it would take me a few more days because I had planned a few more rows for the border but when I had completed the last of the spectrum rows I knew that… Read More My Spectrum Granny Ripple blanket is finished!

And a closer look – I have also found a parallel way of filling in the ripples at the top and the bottom And though it is not really worth a photo, I have completed one round of a granny style edging that… Read More I’m feeling so happy! 🙂
I have my granddaughter staying at present so I don’t have much time for writing a post but I thought that I would show you one of the things I have been working on lately. Since I put the CAL blanket squares aside, I decided that I ought to get a bit further with my… Read More Granny Ripple update
I am beginning to see that writing a blog in the winter is tricky if one doesn’t like using flash for photographs.
