December sunshne! So out with the camera for a ripple fashion shoot.
the colours remind me of Portland – the stone, the sea, the grass and the lichen
a rather coy owl
with a ripple wing, and teasel tiara
and a not so cosy armchair
or throne ……… Tout Quarry is just one of Portland’s many hidden gems.
You can see the colours used in order in the next post.
So here is the thing, yesterday, 21 January 2015, my husband was diagnosed with kidney cancer. This is the new journey it takes us on.

Lovely colours. I’m now working on my third ripple (not Lucy’s pattern, but similar), ripple blankets are so much fun to make!

Glad you like the colours, it was fun to work them out. Ripples really are so relaxing to crochet aren’t they. Have you got photos of your 3 blankets? I will have to pop over for a look around.

Glad you like it Jackie, I was heading for the beach hut, realised I didn’t have time to get there before an appointment, so stopped off at the Sculpture Park – necessity being the mother of invention! So glad I did, I will definitely go there again. And now I will go to see your FB page, thanks for sharing! 🙂

Gorgeous colours. For a moment my heart raced…..I am from Portland, Maine, USA, now living in Ireland. We don’t have our Portlands in common but crochet we do. I shall have a look around.
