Pretty in Pink Star Ripple Baby Afghan

| 3 Comments

My yarn came and I was able to finish this baby afghan, yeah! Not that long ago, I was kind of freaking because I had run short on the Berrylicious color of yarn (the bright pink), and of course, Michael’s has like 2 colors of Vanna’s Baby Yarn (wouldn’t you know!) I lamented for awhile and then found an on-line sale at JoAnn’s and also got a free shipping code from Facebook, and ordered just a few skeins to help me through this crisis.

And I love how this turned out!

It is now stashed away as part of the items I am making for a donation drive I’m running through the Yahoo Crochet List. The drive runs through February, and while my hope is that list members will donate tons of wonderful baby hats, booties, and small afghans, I also feel pressure to produce like crazy since I’m asking other people to participate.

I have already started on another in this same design, but this time I am sure that I have plenty of yarn!

Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes. Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.

  3. Thanks, Terry!

    April, It is a free pattern over at Ravelry.com: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rainbow-ripple-baby-blanket?buy=1

    I changed it a tad by using different colors and a type of yarn and I mainly used the large shell stitch on the corners of the star rather than going back and forth between the small and large.
