I planned Tranquility around the colors in the Red Heart Super Saver variegated yarn called Aspen Print. I chose only four yarns, RHSS Light Sage and Warm Brown, plus an unlabeled cream and a vintage dark brown.
10,418 stitches crocheted – 966,185 donated since Jan. 2011
Aspen Print is an unusual variegated yarn; its color segments are so short, every crochet stitch contains at least two colors. It makes soft, tweedy ripple stripes:
Although I have four more skeins of Aspen Print, I have no plans for starting another ripple series, like the series of seven I did with French Country, another variegated yarn. Still, I can’t resist comparing 2011’s #15, Soothing, which also included Aspen Print, with today’s Tranquility.
Which pattern do you use for your ripples? I would like to try new one.
I use a variation of the Rustic Ripple pattern.
I explain the changes I made in it in this blog post, “Why I Make Ripple After Ripple” (just scroll down to “The Pattern”). There’s also a list of all the publications that contain the original Rustic Ripple pattern.
You know that green is one of my favorite colors …this is a tranquil combination.
Glad you like it. 🙂
I figure not every kid wants a BRIGHT colored blankie.
Just simply beautiful!! …… And you know…you do have another series starting that you may not realize…the names of the two afghans so far : 1.) Soothing….2.) Tranquility…..3.)What will this be? Serenity? Peaceful? Calming ? Comfort? … Just like myknittingcircle stated above that this is a tranquil combination….and that is what I think Aspen Print looks like to me too……Kathy
Thank you so much for the kind compliment!
I like all of your name suggestions…
we’ll just have to wait and see which one best fits the next Aspen Print ripple. 🙂
