This is from my ripple crochet book that I found at the thrift store quite awhile ago. I have been wanting to make another ripple afghan since I finished my last one and now was the perfect time to start this guy.
And, it never hurts to have a little helper.
I worked on this a bit on the way to Chicago and then almost the entire way home. It still has a ways to go but I have given myself a deadline so it will be finished soon.
Oh yeah, and I call this the Twin Peaks blanket because black and white chevron pattern means only one thing to me...the black lodge and Twin Peaks.

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAfter I finish my craft show crocheting & holiday gift knitting, I'm wanting to work on a blanket for the house. Still not sure yet whether it will be granny square or chevron. After seeing your beautiful projects, I might have to do one of each.
A girl can never have too many handmade blankets!
I need to begin working on my first Afghan but its just so hard and I get frustrated
ReplyDeleteBLACK LODGE

it looks beautiful! i just posted about a ripple scarf i made. ripples rule :)
ReplyDeleteHey, it's coming along really nicely! I love the simplicity of the black and white. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteAnd what a good theme to work with :P. Kitties are good helpers so long as the claws don't come out, haha

My log told me this is going to turn out awesome.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I might have to boost your idea when I'm ready for my next afghan. Goodness knows when that will be at the rate I'm going.....
ReplyDeleteHow pretty, I love how the chevron pattern extends right to the edge!

Oh my gosh! I love the black & white. It's so different from the colorful-ness (?? totally not a word lol) that is your house. I want to make a chevron afghan, but I just don't have the patience for all that single crocheting... and you don't get the same effect with any other stich... Thumbs up to you for your crafty diligence :)

it is so hard not to start on new crochet projects when you've already got one going! i fall victim to this often. i also started a chevron crochet blanket months ago and i am no where near close to you. you work fast girl! can i ask what brand yarn you use? i love hobby lobby, it's so soft and they come in huge skeins!
ReplyDeleteif i were to try this again i would definitely do the black and white. i love this look.
Yes it is! The yarn is impeccable loops and threads yarn and it is acrylic but really soft and not stiff like some acrylics can be. It is my favourite!
DeleteI need to get serious about crocheting and make me a chevron afghan for my bedroom. It's very therapeutic.
ReplyDeleteI find kitties are all very handy when it comes to yarn.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the chevron.
BEAUTIFUL ! Looks like it's coming out real nice and tight (your stiches). Beautiful hypnotic layout of black and white :) With the weather cooling down in Canada (Quebec for me) i restarded my ripple blanket too :) She's a multicolored one!
ReplyDeleteHappy Ripple, i know the feeling!
adoring chevron right now!

ReplyDeletelooks gorgeous!

Hey! I'm using a J hook (6mm) for this blanket!
DeleteOh wow 6 !! Must go sooo fast ! :)
DeleteAMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteI have several of these that my grandmother made. I even made one (with her help) when I was a kid -- in yellow and orange. For some reason, I had my whole room done in yellow and orange...with Duran Duran posters on the wall!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I attempted an afghan a few years ago, and failed miserably. I decided this year I want to try again, and I'm thinking granny squares first. I would love to make one like this, maybe once I practice more.
ReplyDeleteNice work! I want to give crocheting a shot again. I knit, but nothing so large. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThese are my favorite to work on, classic afghan ripples! I really love the black and white contrast too!
ReplyDeleteI love the blanket design! It looks awesome. I so want to learn how to crochet to make myself blankets.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I missed something but is there a pattern for this awesome chevron afghan? I would love to have the pattern. My mom crochets constantly. Great blanket design! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeletePS - I found your blog through a pin on pinterest.
DeleteOhhh that's wonderful! I keep meaning to get started on a crochet blanket, but meaning to do it is always about as far as I get... whoops! I think it's the thought of buying all that wool... so daunting. I think my puppy will try and eat it all!
