It’s February. I can use a little reminder of what spring looks like! How about you?

I finished this ripple last May. I remember I was so excited to show off my purple clematis with it! I’m still not sure which I think is prettier, the blanket or clematis?
Obviously, it’s a randomly striped blanket. I picked yarns to coordinate with the variegated yarn, which I used in every ninth row. Here’s the traditional flat view:
And a close-up:
Oooooh, those blossoms are so distracting! lol. Don’t forget to look at the blanket!
I think I’ll crochet a ripple to photograph when my pink clematis blooms this May.
Very pretty Linda!! First thing that came to my mind when I saw the afghan was “Easter Eggs”! Just all the spring colors eggs are dyed and most of the time they have a bit of every color on them. I remember as a child trying to balance the egg in that wire holder over each color to make it a patchwork of the Easter dye colors. Your clematis are beautiful. Very rich violet color. Will have to show us the pink ones this year!…Kathy
Thank you Kathy! Funny, I hadn’t connected the afghan’s color scheme with Easter at all, but those are definitely Easter egg colors! (go see!)
Your hand-dyed eggs sound so pretty; I don’t remember us attempting anything so fancy as kids, although I liked playing with dyeing over the wax resist crayon some kits provided.
It’s hard to imagine that the clematis could be as beautiful again this year (conditions must have been perfect), but I plan to take pictures nonetheless.
Gasp!! That blankie is beautiful! Can I send you my address?
Thank You!! Glad you like it.
Sure, you can send me your address, but I won’t send you the kids’ blankie! haha
