this ripple is for my very patient darling husband, who has been waiting about 2 years for me to complete it. i put it down when our child was born, and it wasn't until i found the no end in sight ripple-along that i was inspired to pick it back up. of course, part of the problem could be how big he wants it! it's already 74in long by 58in wide, and he wants it about a foot longer! i made another one for my brother in dark green, mint green, chocolate brown and black. it reminded me of mint chocolate ice cream and it was so long that even when i was standing on the couch holding it up as high as i could it still pooled on the floor! but he's about 6"4, and i'm only 5"2, so that could explain it a bit ;) i have a scrapghan started in the ripple/zigzag pattern, and i think it's going to be my last one for that particular pattern. it just takes forever to make it across a row because there's a ginormous number of stitches, but the zigzag is so steep that it pulls in alot.
