Indulgent Ripple

I just wanted to stop by and share my Indulgent Ripple. I started this a while ago but as other projects have been getting in the way (mostly christmas presents and the boyfriend's blanket) I haven't been able to get on with it as much as I'd like. It is therefore known as the indulgent ripple as I LOVE doing it but never get the chance, just slipping in a few rows here and there. 


Of course I started it as part of the ripple along set up by Little Tin Bird and Attic24, and I've enjoyed looking at everyone elses on Flickr

Hello

After spending a few months reading around the wonderful crochet and homemade goodness of blogland I've decided to make one myself. The main reason being that I like the idea of creating a record of the things I've been doing and most of all making, as I do tend to forget, especially if it's something I've been making for someone else. I intend this to be sort of like a diary but mainly made up of pictures. I must admit that I'm pretty awful at picture taking but this should give me plenty of practise. Anyway....


This is the first thing I would like to share. It's made from King Cole Merino DK in various colours that I'm not sure of off the top of my head. I really like this yarn but I think it will have to only be used for 'special occasions' from now on as my measly student budget is just not up to it :).

And this is the back. I think that it shouldn't be called 'the back' as I quite like it from both sides. Almost like two cushions in one.
 
Unfortunately I'm planning on selling this along with others at the local victorian christmas market (I've been saved a space on my Grandad's wood turning stall) as I initially didn't like it, but it's growing on me now.
 
 
And these are the rest that I've been working on.
 
I apologise for the not so good picture quality which is due to bad lighting from the terrible weather this last week +  broken camera which resulted in emergency use of phone.
