So I sat up and finished the ripple blanket and started another.
One of the things I love about Ravelry is seeing different patterns in a particular yarn before I give it a try. This is the Moss stitch blanket that I made once already in the Caron Big Cake yarn but when I looked at what other yarns people were using I saw that several people had made it using the Lion Brand Ice cream yarn.
I know it bothers some people that this blanket works up a little skewed but it doesn’t bother me and I even kind of like the effect. Here’s the example that made me decide to use this yarn with this pattern.
Love this color – and I’m with you. The skewed effect wouldn’t bother me at all.
I love it!
I love the color.
Hi Mary! That turned out just gorgeous – I love those colors. ~smile~ Roseanne
I like the skewed effect….makes it look a little more handmade than one with perfectly regimented stripes. It always amazes me how many you get done! You are a little cottage industry all by yourself!
I find that is you turn on every round, it gets rid of the skew. On another note love all the ripple blankets that you are making.
I think it looks great. There are a lot of new yarns out that I have not tried. Crochet is a winter project for me. Or a project I do while waiting in the hospital. Guess I better find a project before Terry has minor surgery in September.

The skewed effect is wonderful! Reminds me of the old camera accordion lense, or something like that. Love the blue and white!
