Something went wrong...

Yup, something went wrong with the adorable ripple blanket and I don't even know how. I mean, I really don't know how. I've been following the pattern (albeit in my head) and some how my ends have bowed.

One side of the blanket is great and perfect, and the other with the ends just screams "WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG?"






See what I mean? And this is the blanket laying flat.

Admittedly I've never made a blanket properly before; this was going to be my first and now I'm worried that I won't be able to get past this awkward stage in it. Would it be improved by an edging of some kind? Is this normal when making a blanket? I haven't got a clue. What I do know, is that I need help. And fast.

Until I find out what's wrong, I shall be trawling through Pinterest for tips on ripple blankets and where I am going awfully wrong. :c

Cute Ripples!

'Tis the season for blankets at the moment with snow, wind and rain covering much of the West, and so as spring is (hopefully) on its way to us all, I've begun knocking up this cute ripple blanket!

(Adorable, right?)

The colours are a-DOR-able and soft, making the blanket perfect for newborns, children, or just for yourself and those crisp spring mornings and cool nights.

It didn't go without its errors though. Miss counting my stitches and being too eager meant I often had to frog my lovely blanket and start rows again or go back to where I could see it first going wrong. Needless to say though that this has just made me love my blanket more and I cannot wait to add more rows, colours, and love to it.

If you wish to make your own ripple blanket you can find the pattern on Attic24
