Granny Square Ripples pt.2

strips finished and waiting for a joining plan

Further rippling granny adventures!
Once i'd got the ornage strip made, as you can see i went on to make 3 more in different colours. Great, i thought, now i just join them together and it's all hunky dory. Except it's not is it... The only way they are going to join together is if they are staggered because i hadn't followed a pattern i hadn't realised that they would either all need a traingle at one end or alternate stripes would need a traingle at both ends!!
DOH!


After a bit of brain racking i decided to fill in the gaps with cream join-as-you-go granny squares and i am really pleased that i did as i like the way it makes the zig zags of colour really POP!

gaps filled with granny squares

Once they were joined it was just a matter of adding a border and hey presto!
One granny square ripple blanket.

i settled on the central strip colour for the border

I wanted to downplay the very bright pink a little bit so the border is constructed of half teble rows in cream and plae pink and double crochet in the bright pink 

that is a very bright pink!!

 I am enormously happy with my concoction and have decided to offer it for sale at the Crafter's Barn where i have a little shop :)
