More Yarn for French Countries
While at JoAnns I came across TLC Essentials in “Light Celery”, a rather unusual shade of green. It was clearance priced at $1.00, pardon me, make that 97¢, for a 6 oz. skein. Why, I’ve paid that much for yarn … Continue reading
Ripple #36 – French Country Deux
This is the second ripple I’ve made using my wealth of Red Heart Soft “French Country”, a variegated yarn. It’s predominately a tan blanket with alternating single rows of rose and white that are bracketed by rows of French Country. … Continue reading
Ripple of the Week #34 – French Country
A change in my original plans resulted in a mirrored striping design for this ripple. Stripe patterns usually repeat continuously from one end of a blanket to the other, while in a mirrored design the pattern repeats until it reaches … Continue reading
