Hi Bethintx1! I just started working on my Grannie Ripple blanket last week. I have no experience with crochet, and this is my first project! I want to make a blanket for my mom because she crocheted me one years ago. I'm on row 11 now, I was hoping to have it done by Mother's Day but I'm thinking it may take longer.I estimated it can take me 5 or 6 hours to do 5 rows. I was curious, I know you have more experience then me, but how long did it take you to make this blanket?
Don't know what I did, but at each end of my blanket, I inadvertently began to add one extra shell. Now I am on row seven and I have seven shells, as I climb up the ridge. As I add a row, as best as I can tell, an extra shell appears. I have to get better at reading the directions. By the way, as a visual learner, your video tutorials are fantastic. I'll try again. Any additional pointers?
@1litski Host the picture on line somewhere. Ravelry would be the easiest place to share, but you can post it to flickr or photobucket or Picasa. Then send me a personal message here on You Tube. To do that click on my name It will take you to my channel, then on the right there is a send message button click that. Send me a note and paste the URL in the message.
I just finished my first big project and I owe a big thank you to you! You are a wonderful teacher and I hope to learn more techniques from you in the future. Keep up the great work!!
It's beautiful Beth! I am going to start mine tomorrow. I have to get yarn with no dye lot because I can't buy 10 skeins at once this month...lol I was wondering thought Once the border is on, could you go around it again to make the border thicker? If so, would I just go in every chain, or do it the same as the first round?
Starting tomorrow morning I will begin this project I saw the pattern for the "lavender hills" with all the different shades of purples and will be trying to replicate those same colors with your videos I can't wait to try/finish this!! Thank you so mch for the tutorial of this pattern!
Now that i've been crocheting for months....and I know these stitches, I am going to make one of these!!! I love your explanation of the blanket and how you did it....and i love the colors!
Thank you so much for this series! I've always wanted to learn how to crochet & this series encouraged me to go ahead and try it! My first try & it looks fantastic! I used black, white & pink... Each with silver tinsel in the yarn! It took me exactly 1 month to finish it! Please keep the tutorial series coming! God Bless!
thank u so much for the series which helped me greatly. how much time did it take for u to complete this piece? and how many ball of yarn did u use for each color?
Beth--I just finished my granny ripple! Yay! Thank you so very much for sharing this pattern and helping us with your crochet-a-long. I am sure my single crochet edging doesn't look as good as yours, but I think the recipients (a young newlywed couple--a good friend's son) will forgive me. I wish I could post a picture but don't have the technology or know-how! I did it in navy, raspberry pink, and leaf green. I am so happy with how it turned out--all thanks to you! May you be blessed!
Beth, this is gorgeous! I love ripple patterns and the traditional granny square, and was thrilled to see them combined so beautifully. You are a superb teacher, and all the little tips you shared along the way were terrific! I especially loved the one about how to camouflage your final stitch when you completed the sc border--I've been crocheting for years and was never happy with the way mine looked at the end. I can't wait to start this pattern-time to yarn shop again! Blessings to you!
Thank you so much. You showed us all the steps and so simple instructions.. Small doubts are cleared instantly as if you are talking directly to your students. Thank you so much. May god bless you with lots of health and happiness.
I finished my Granny Ripple afghan...I made a baby blanket size...I just need to put the border on it but couldn't wait to upload for you to see. You're such a GREAT teacher!! Thanks...
Hi, this is beautiful. I can't wait to make one. I just love the look of it. I will post my picture on Ravelry when I'm done. Thank you so much for your videos and patterns.

@Misdamas remember to skip a shell ( go into the space AFTER the first shell) at the beginning of each row to account for the slant of the stitches.

@TarotLadyLissa You would work one stitch in each st in each. making increases in the corners and decreases in the valleys.

No problem. I can estimate my finished size based off my little practice piece. Thanks again for the series!

This was a great series of videos! Much appreciated. I made a little version with just 2 peaks & 8 rows while I watched.
I'm sure you stated out some point, but what was the finished size of your afghan?
Thanks again!

@DawnHiggy I'm not sure what the size was! It's long gone to charity now. sorry.

That is beautiful! And what a great color combination. One thing that I've found to
stabilize that beginning side of a blanket, is to do your starting chain with a hook
one size larger than what you'll be using for the blanket.
You do beautiful work on all of your projects.
